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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very 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 an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Stockholm face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who reside in rural locations. Programs offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
