American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, 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 substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a 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 challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Gresham face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are available to them through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
