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. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely 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 show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Collins face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded locations. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
