American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Shawnee, OK.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.

One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Shawnee face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions often are not capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
