American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Programs - Poteau, OK.

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. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone 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 arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.

One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Poteau face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded areas. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult 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 rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
