American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Airmont face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in rural regions. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
