American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also 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, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Lake Andes face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural areas often are not capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
