American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Oneonta face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions often are not capable of offering support designed to meet the needs of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
