American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Mimbres face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Programs providing substance abuse treatment services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which 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, that have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
