American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Port Costa face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
