American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require 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, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Recluse face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
