American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 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 accepted a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute 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 Weehawken face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Facilities providing substance abuse treatment services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse 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 tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
