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 more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Gonzales face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation 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 types of treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
