American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Califon face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Facilities providing substance abuse treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
