American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Harford face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
