American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Oyster face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who live in secluded areas. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
