American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 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 arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Crossroads face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who reside in secluded locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are available to them and 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 treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
