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 prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Harper face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Facilities offering addiction rehab services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation 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 determine which services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
