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. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 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 very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Lafayette face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural regions. Programs offering addiction rehab services in rural regions often are not set up to provide support intended for the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which ones 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 effective 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.
