American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Minong face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded regions. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support intended for the needs of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are an option for them 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 services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
