American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, 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 drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Eagletown face is access to effective services, especially those who live in rural regions. Programs offering substance abuse treatment services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved 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 offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
