American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also 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, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wakefield face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Facilities providing addiction treatment services in rural regions often are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
