One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Norton Shores face is access to effective services, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
