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. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone 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 agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wynantskill face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering addiction rehab services in rural areas often are not capable of offering support intended for the needs of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
