American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Atwater face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who reside in rural regions. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer support intended for the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
