American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol 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. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Lowell face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
