American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment 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. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in St. Xavier face is access to effective services, especially those who live in secluded areas. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
