American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services 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. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Alhambra face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded regions. Programs providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions often are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
