American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for drug and alcohol 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. Nearly 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 agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Burien face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
