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 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 treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Baileys Harbor face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who live in rural regions. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions may not be set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
