American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Johnson City face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural regions. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including addiction 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 services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer 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.
