American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone 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 court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Colfax face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who reside in secluded regions. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet 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 stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
