American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Mishicot face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas may not be capable of offering support designed to meet the needs and demands of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. 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 effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
