American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in San Pedro face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Facilities providing addiction rehab services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
