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. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone 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 show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Avalon face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
