American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Leedey face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which 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 effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
