American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Gans face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be able to offer support intended for the needs of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
