American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Lyndhurst face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs providing addiction treatment services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
