American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Arlington face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering substance abuse treatment services in rural areas may not be capable of offering support designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for 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 delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
