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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Hualapai face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support designed to meet the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out 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 many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
