American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Ekwok face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas often are not capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with elders and stakeholders 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 treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
