American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in South Otselic face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas may not be able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
