American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Winfall face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in rural regions. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support intended for the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
