American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance 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. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types 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 Leonard face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions may not be capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation 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 find out which treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
