American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone 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 arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Bethel Island face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural regions. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
