American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique 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 Mathews face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in secluded regions. Programs providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be able to offer support intended for the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are available to them 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 rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
