American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Marathon face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Facilities offering substance abuse treatment services in rural regions may not be set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are available to them and through which treatment 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, that have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
