American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Portville face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural locations. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
