American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up 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 a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Pecos face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are available to 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, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
