American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Union Center face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in rural locations. Facilities offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas commonly are not capable of offering support designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective 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.
