American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Malin face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in rural locations. Programs offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which 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 help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
