American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Ferrum face is access to effective services, especially those who live in rural regions. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions may not be capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which 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 treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
