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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in San Luis Obispo face is access to effective services, especially those who reside in rural regions. Programs offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their native 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 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 effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
