American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Bowling Green face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural regions. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are an option for them through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many 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 provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
