American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Renton face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural regions. Programs providing substance abuse treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
