American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Dexter face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Programs offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
