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 seek treatment on their own will more 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 instead of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Presho face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who reside in rural locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
