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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 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 rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a 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 barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in La Pine face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs providing substance abuse treatment services in rural areas often are not capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established 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.
