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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely 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 treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Canisteo face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities providing substance abuse treatment services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
