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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up 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 one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Nashville face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Programs providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
