American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Hamilton face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in secluded regions. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions may not be able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
