American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation 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 substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Forest Hills face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in rural areas. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
