American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol 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. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Whittier face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in rural locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions may not be capable of offering support intended for the needs of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
