American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Osage face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural regions. Facilities offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide 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.
