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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Sedley face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in rural locations. Programs providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
