American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Rawlings face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded regions. Programs offering addiction rehab services in rural regions may not be capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
