American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Rappahannock Academy face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in secluded locations. Facilities providing addiction rehab services in rural regions often are not capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs of this unique group of people including addiction 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 find out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
