American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique 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 Utica face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Facilities offering addiction rehab services in rural regions may not be capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
