American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment 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 very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Ashland face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded regions. Facilities offering addiction rehab services in rural areas may not be able to offer support intended for the needs of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for 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 rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
