American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Eastport face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in rural regions. Programs offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which ones 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, that have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
