American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Cassadaga face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in rural locations. Programs providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be set up to provide strategic planning 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 people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
