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 also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. 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 this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wheatland face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who reside in secluded regions. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
