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 also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Westport face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural locations. Facilities providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
