American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely 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 treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Newsoms face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded areas. Programs providing addiction rehab services in rural areas 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 language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many 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 offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
