American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Centers - Skiatook, OK.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance 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 substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover 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 Skiatook face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions often are not capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are an option for them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that 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 staff members.
