American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance 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 drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Brevig Mission face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
