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. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, 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 Central face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who reside in secluded regions. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working 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 many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
