American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Shoreline face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
