American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 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 very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a 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 barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Forestburgh face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural locations. Programs offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
