American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment 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 you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Amity face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
