American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services 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. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Neah Bay face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural regions. Facilities offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
