American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Counselor face is access to effective services, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs providing addiction treatment services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
