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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 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, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Bloomington face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
