American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Merrick, NY.

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 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 rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.

One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Merrick face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs providing addiction rehab services in rural regions often are not capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
