American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Franklin face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions may not be set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
