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 drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Catalina face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in rural locations. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas often are not capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many 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 encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
