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 also more likely 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 show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Happy Valley face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded regions. Facilities providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
