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 substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also 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 treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail time. 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 American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Clay face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in rural regions. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic 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 services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
