American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance 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. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive 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 very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in North Powder face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
