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 seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover 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 Bradford face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions often are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
