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. On the Contrary, 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 addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Kiefer face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
