American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Pittsfield face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
