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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone 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 most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Lexington face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Facilities providing addiction treatment services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering support designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. 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 treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
