American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Coopers Plains face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in rural regions. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
