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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment 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 agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu 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 needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Kewaunee face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural regions. Facilities providing addiction rehab services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
