American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Keeseville face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas may not be capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
