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 also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Humboldt face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who reside in secluded regions. Facilities offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not able to offer support intended for the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
