American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for substance 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. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Elliston face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in rural regions. Facilities providing substance abuse treatment services in rural regions may not be set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are available to them and through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many 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 incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
