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 likely to feel the need to seek treatment 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 most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Alpena face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural locations. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
