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. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone 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, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead 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 needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Portales face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who live in secluded areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover 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 treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
