American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - Willow, NY.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.

One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Willow face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, especially those who live in rural locations. Programs offering substance abuse treatment services in rural areas may not be able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
