American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to 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. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Kachemak face is access to effective services, especially those who live in rural areas. Programs offering addiction treatment services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
