American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Fort Duchesne face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Programs offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
