American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab in lieu of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Nulato face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas often are not able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
