American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Emporia face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Programs providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
