American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also 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, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Jeffersonton face is access to effective services, especially those who live in rural areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions may not be capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
