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. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Gig Harbor face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer support designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
