American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Bridgewater face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who reside in secluded locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which 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 sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
