American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Pond Eddy face is access to effective services, especially those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe 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 offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
