American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail time. 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 American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Pungoteague face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural locations. Facilities offering addiction rehab services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
