American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, 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 substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Tempe face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural regions. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work 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 and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
