American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Amherst, NY.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.

One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Amherst face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions may not be set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
