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 seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Poulsbo face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded locations. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
