American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Rock Springs face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in secluded regions. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
