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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Fort Monroe face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Programs offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this distinctive demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
