American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Swink face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions may not be capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
