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. Reversely, 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 arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Assawoman face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
