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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Woodland face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural areas. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas may not be capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this distinctive demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
