American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Juneau face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities providing addiction treatment services in rural regions may not be able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
