American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Roosevelt face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
