American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Centers - Shelter Island, NY.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone 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 treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.

One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Shelter Island face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions may not be able to offer support intended for the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which services are an option for them through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
