American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 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 court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in De Smet face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded regions. Facilities offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
