American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab 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 very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Frankfort face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this distinctive demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are available to 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 effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
