American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Hood, CA.

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 more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.

One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Hood face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
