American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Sentinel face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded regions. Facilities offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas commonly are not capable of offering support intended for the needs of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are an option for them through which treatment 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 services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
