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 more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Talkeetna face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who reside in rural regions. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs and demands of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
