American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, 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 substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Isabel face is access to effective services, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
