American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Johnson face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural locations. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions often are not capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are available to them through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
