American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Lake Nebagamon face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse 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 find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
