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. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 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 rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Nowata face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
