American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead 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 services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Florence face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in rural locations. Programs offering addiction treatment services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
