American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment 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. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Maspeth face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
