American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, 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 substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Palm Springs face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. 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 effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
