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. Conversely, 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 arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning 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 addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Port Edwards face is access to effective services, especially those who reside in secluded locations. Facilities offering substance abuse treatment services in rural regions often are not set up to provide support intended for the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are available to them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover 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 recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
