American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Schenevus face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded regions. Facilities offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
