American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment 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 receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. 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 needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Freedom face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Facilities providing substance abuse treatment services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. 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 encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
