American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Ruffin face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are available to them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
