American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 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 treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Northfield face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who reside in rural areas. Programs offering addiction rehab services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
