American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Tuskahoma face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in secluded locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are available to them and through which rehab 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 rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
