American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 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, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. 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 treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Ryan face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who reside in rural areas. Programs offering addiction rehab services in rural regions may not be able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
