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 also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Alamo face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas may not be capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work 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 facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for 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 delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
