American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Fort Yukon, AK.

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 also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.

One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Fort Yukon face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in rural locations. Programs providing addiction rehab services in rural regions often are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
