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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Addington face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded regions. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
