American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in White Sands Missile Range face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people 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 available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective 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.
