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. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Elmira face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Facilities offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs 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 tribe or region to determine which treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
