American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab 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 therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Columbia face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural regions. Facilities offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered 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 encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
