American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 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, meaning 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 definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Sweetwater face is access to effective services, especially those who live in secluded areas. Facilities offering addiction rehab services in rural areas may not be capable of offering support aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
