American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more 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, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Second Mesa face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover 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 recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
