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 feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Latham face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who reside in rural areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
