American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Tishomingo face is access to effective services, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Programs offering substance abuse treatment services in rural regions often are not set up to provide support intended for the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
