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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Portsmouth face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded regions. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
