American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Peoa face is access to effective services, especially those who reside in rural locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
