American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Meridian face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who reside in rural areas. Facilities providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
