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. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Oswego face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
