American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one 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 barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in South Lima face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are an option for them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
