American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Iroquois face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are available to them through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
