American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Lincoln face is access to effective services, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
