American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite 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 programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Elk Mountain face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural areas. Facilities providing substance abuse treatment services in rural regions may not be able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
