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. 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 drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Pittsburg face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs offering addiction rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
