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. 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 arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Chatham face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not set up to provide support intended for the needs of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
