American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more 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 agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Woodgate face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in secluded locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
