American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Westernville face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. 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 incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
