American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 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 arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, 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 barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Ohkay Owingeh face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
