American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need 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. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Meridale face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who reside in secluded regions. Facilities providing addiction treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support intended for the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
