American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance 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. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Oakboro face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded locations. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
