American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, 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 most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Cottekill face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Programs providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
