American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Jamestown face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in rural regions. Facilities providing addiction rehab services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
