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 feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Manhattan Beach face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in rural locations. Facilities offering substance abuse treatment services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide 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.
