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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Upper Lake face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in secluded regions. Facilities offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned 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 encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
