American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for substance 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. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Alfred face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which offer 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.
