American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Halifax face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas may not be capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
