American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in New Hope face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
