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. On the Contrary, 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 substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Littlefield face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be capable of offering support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
