American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Laguna face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in rural locations. Programs offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery 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.
