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 also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up 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 very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Oologah face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work 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 rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
