American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also 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 show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Chippewa Bay face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural locations. Programs offering addiction treatment services in rural areas may not be able to offer support intended for the needs and demands of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
