American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Lynn face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not capable of offering support designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment 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 treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
