American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - St. Louis, MI.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.

One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in St. Louis face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. 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 encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
