American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Heathsville face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse 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 figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
