American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Putnam face is access to effective services, especially those who reside in rural regions. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas may not be able to offer support designed to meet the needs and demands of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
