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 also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite 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 problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Cheektowaga face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Facilities providing addiction rehab services in rural areas may not be capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned 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 encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
