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 drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in New Bern face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in rural areas. Programs offering addiction treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
