American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. 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 barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Morgan face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded locations. Facilities offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
