American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wassaic face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities offering drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions often are not able to offer support intended for the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
