American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in New York face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural areas. Facilities providing addiction rehab services in rural regions often are not capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
