American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - Seldovia, AK.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are 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 arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.

One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Seldovia face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in rural regions. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation 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 figure out which services are available to them and through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
