American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment 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. 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 agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Willow face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering substance abuse treatment services in rural areas often are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
