American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one 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 addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Athens face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded locations. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas commonly are not capable of offering support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
