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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Valyermo face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural regions often are not able to offer support intended for the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native 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 an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. 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 effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
