American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for drug and alcohol 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. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab 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 cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Radford face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in rural regions. Facilities providing addiction rehab services in rural regions may not be capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
