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 prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Truth Or Consequences face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Programs offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
