American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance 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 drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Lemitar face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in rural areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
