American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone 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 arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Plymouth face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Facilities offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
