American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for drug and alcohol 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. Nearly 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 court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Sackets Harbor face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who reside in secluded regions. Facilities providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
