American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone 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 treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Napaskiak face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning intended for the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which types of treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
