American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment 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 very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Palo Alto face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in rural regions. Programs offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
