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 more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Sinai face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural regions. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. 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 effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
