American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance 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 addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Steilacoom face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in rural regions. Programs providing addiction rehab services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
