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. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment 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 various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in High Shoals face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in secluded regions. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
