American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Sioux Falls face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering addiction rehab services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
