American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 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 court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Elmer face is access to effective services, especially those who reside in secluded locations. Facilities offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not able to offer support intended for the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
