American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in West Henrietta face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Facilities offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
