American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more 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, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Hammon face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
