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 drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted 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 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 Lehi face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in rural locations. Facilities offering substance abuse treatment services in rural areas may not be capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
