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 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 show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in San Quentin face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
