American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Eureka face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions may not be able to offer support intended for the needs of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
