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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very 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 a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Fort Edward face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
