American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely 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 treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Lake Minchumina face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in secluded regions. Facilities providing addiction treatment services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people 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 an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide 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.
