American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance 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. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Somers face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in rural regions. Facilities offering addiction rehab services in rural areas may not be capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
