American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation 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. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Tappan face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
