American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Breezy Point face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who reside in secluded regions. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
