American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Blairs face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who reside in secluded locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
