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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Essex face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients 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 available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
