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 more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Ilion face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support intended for the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
