American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Waterville face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural regions may not be able to offer support intended for the needs of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them through which rehab 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 treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
