American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Bluefield face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural regions. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions often are not capable of offering support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
