American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Francis face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out 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 help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
