American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely 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 most likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Union face is access to effective services, especially those who reside in rural areas. Programs offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established 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.
