American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Hesperia face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in rural regions. Programs providing substance abuse treatment services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
