American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services 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. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Blodgett Mills face is access to effective services, especially those who reside in secluded regions. Programs providing addiction treatment services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique demographic 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 figure out which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
