American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Penn Laird face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Facilities providing substance abuse treatment services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
