American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation 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. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Gallup face is access to effective services, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
