American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Emerson face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in secluded regions. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders 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 cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
