American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, 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 substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Shoshoni face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their 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 services are an option for them through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
