American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab 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 provide services for all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Model City face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural regions may not be set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are an option for them through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
