American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Leflore face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Programs providing substance abuse treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
