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. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Marcellus face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs offering addiction rehab services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find 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 offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
