American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone 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 accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Bayside face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded areas. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
