American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Big Falls face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural areas. Programs offering substance abuse treatment services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
