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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Otego face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs providing addiction treatment services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
