American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment 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. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program 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 very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Dillingham face is access to comprehensive and effective services, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs providing substance abuse treatment services in rural regions often are not able to offer support intended for the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
