American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in South Kortright face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones 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 effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
