American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique 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 Hecla face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions may not be able to offer support intended for the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which 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, that have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
