American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, 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 programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Sparks face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural locations. Programs offering substance abuse treatment services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
