American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive 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 various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Mekoryuk face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehab services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. 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 programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
