American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment 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. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Williamsville face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas often are not capable of offering support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
