American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Waskish, MN.

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 also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment 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 most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment 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 this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.

One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Waskish face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas often are not set up to provide 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 tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
