American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Boston face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Facilities providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be capable of offering support intended for the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
