American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 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 treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Bellport face is access to effective services, especially those who reside in secluded locations. Programs providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
