American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Paoli face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in secluded regions. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
