American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in New Vernon face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded locations. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
