American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Oatman face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones 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, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
