American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also 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 show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements 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 Menlo Park face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Facilities providing addiction rehab services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their 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 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, that have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
