American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Oswegatchie face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in rural locations. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not set up to provide support intended for the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
