American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone 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 arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Angola face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
