American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment 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, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Plattekill face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded regions. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions may not be able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
