American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Imperial face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who live in secluded areas. Programs offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are an option for them and through which rehab 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 services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
