American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Mercer Island, WA.

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 prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.

One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Mercer Island face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are available to them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
