American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone 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 show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Gould face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
