American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for drug and alcohol 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 drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Mooers Forks face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded locations. Programs offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
