American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely 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 very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various 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 Tucson face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are available to them and through which rehab 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 effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
