American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Sturgeon Bay face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural regions. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
