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. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Byron face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural regions. Programs offering addiction rehab services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer support intended for the needs of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
