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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone 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 show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Union Center face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover 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.
