American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more 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 accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Oakland Gardens face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who reside in rural areas. Programs providing addiction rehab services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover 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 recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
