American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up 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 therefore, 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 rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Reserve face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
