American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Salina face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Programs providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
