American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, 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, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Hammond face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not capable of offering support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
