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. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover 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 Saugerties face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
