American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment 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 this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wakonda face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Facilities offering addiction rehab services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which 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, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
