American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Mamaroneck face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in rural regions. Facilities offering substance abuse treatment services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
