American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance 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. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute 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 St. Francis face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
