American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol 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. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, 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 addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Clayton face is access to effective services, especially those who reside in secluded locations. Programs offering substance abuse treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
