American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Mount Gilead face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural regions. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
