American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely 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 treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Howard Beach face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded areas. Facilities offering addiction treatment services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
