American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for substance 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 substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Nenana face is access to comprehensive and effective services, especially those who reside in secluded locations. Facilities offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. 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 programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
