American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely 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 rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Elm Hall face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders involved 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 rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
