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. Reversely, 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 rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Runnemede face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Facilities offering substance abuse treatment services in rural areas often are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse 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 region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
