American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone 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 rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Port Alexander face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Facilities providing substance abuse rehab services in rural areas often are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs of this special group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
