American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, 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 drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment 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 you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in St. Paul face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions may not be set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of 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 provided by bi-lingual staff members.
