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 also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wantagh face is access to effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities offering substance abuse treatment services in rural areas often are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine 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 numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
