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 more likely to feel the need to seek treatment 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 very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wainscott face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Programs offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be capable of offering support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
