American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wytheville face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
