American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 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 agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Keller face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
