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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also 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 arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Pepin face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded locations. Facilities offering substance abuse treatment services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support intended for the needs of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
