American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types 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 Umatilla face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who live in rural locations. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions may not be set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
