American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation 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 addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Sandy face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering substance abuse treatment services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
