American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for drug and alcohol 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, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Bristol face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Facilities offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support intended for the needs of this distinctive demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
