American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead 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 requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wingate face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Programs offering addiction rehab services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
