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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Luna face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who reside in rural locations. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
