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. Conversely, 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 show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs 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 Atwater face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people 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 rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. 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 effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
