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 more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Shawano face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural regions often are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
