American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely 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 rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Check face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in rural areas. Programs providing substance abuse treatment services in rural regions often are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. 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 programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
