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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types 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 challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Audubon face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural locations. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
