American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Colton, NY.

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 drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, 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 drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.

One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Colton face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in rural areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions often are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
