American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely 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 treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, 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 rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in La Honda face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be capable of offering support designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved 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 encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
