American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely 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 arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Salem face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who reside in rural areas. Programs offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer support intended for the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation 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 figure out which treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
