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 also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Kalama face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
