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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Nespelem face is access to effective services, especially those who live in rural regions. Facilities providing addiction treatment services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
