American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Lincoln Park face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are available to them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
