American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in McLaughlin face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer support intended for the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
