American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Meriden face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
