American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also 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 arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Haynesville face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded areas. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are an option for them through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
