American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Facilities - Wapato, WA.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services 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 addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.

One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wapato face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in secluded regions. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs of this distinctive demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native 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 treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
