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 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 show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in University Of Richmond face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are an option for them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
