American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need 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. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab 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 addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Macon face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who reside in rural locations. Programs providing substance abuse treatment services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
