American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more 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 very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in West Islip face is access to effective services, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering support designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
