American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Afton, NY.

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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to 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 needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.

One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Afton face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not set up to provide support intended for the needs of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are available to them and through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
