American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover 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 Phoenix face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be capable of offering support intended for the needs of this unique demographic 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 region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
