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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Helmetta face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned 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 offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
