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. Conversely, 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 substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Tulalip face is access to effective services, especially those who live in secluded locations. Programs providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support intended for the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective 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.
