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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Pateros face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who reside in rural regions. Programs providing addiction treatment services in rural regions may not be able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
