American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Interior face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in secluded areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas often are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous 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 integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
