American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely 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 arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Hamden face is access to effective services, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult 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 and through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
