American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 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 arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Piscataway face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Programs offering addiction rehab services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning designed to meet 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 elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
