American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one 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 substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Palo face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their 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 available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
