American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Ridgeway face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
