American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in St. Helena face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Programs offering substance abuse 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 addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are available to them and through which treatment 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 treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
