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 feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Los Alamos face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural areas often are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover 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 recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
