American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in New Auburn face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in rural locations. Programs providing addiction rehab services in rural areas may not be able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this special demographic 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 determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
