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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a 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 Jewett face is access to effective services, especially those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
