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. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Swan Lake face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural regions. Programs providing addiction rehab services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support intended for the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
