American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Raton face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs offering substance abuse treatment services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab 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 rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
