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 more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive 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 time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Cape May Point face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Programs providing addiction rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
