American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to 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. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. 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 addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Half Moon Bay face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in secluded locations. Programs offering substance abuse treatment services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
