American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Star Prairie face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities providing addiction treatment services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support intended for the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
