American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in St. Onge face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
