American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, 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 arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Gardena face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural regions. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse 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 find out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
