American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely 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 show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Redlands face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural regions. Programs offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which 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 numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
