American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Sturgis face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural locations. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural areas may not be able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique 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 region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
