American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Canajoharie face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in rural locations. Programs offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of 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.
