American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Bergen face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in rural locations. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. 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 effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
