American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, 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 arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Greenleaf face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded regions. Programs providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered 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 incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
