American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment 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 drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Dallesport face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many 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 encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
