American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Little Eagle, SD.

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 likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.

One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Little Eagle face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Programs offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas 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 people can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
