American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Ketchum face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
