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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Welcome face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not capable of offering support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people 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 through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
