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 very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Cheriton face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded regions. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
