American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Dorchester face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural locations. Facilities offering addiction rehab services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
