American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wardville face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are an option for them through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
