American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in South San Francisco face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded regions. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. 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 provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
