American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in High Point face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded regions. Facilities offering addiction rehab services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover 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 treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
