American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 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, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Tokeland face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in rural regions. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which 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 rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
