American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Broadbent face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who reside in rural regions. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs and demands of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
