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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely 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 go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Antigo face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse 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 determine which treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
