American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone 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, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Mamers face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in rural areas. Programs offering addiction treatment services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
