American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for drug and alcohol 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 go to rehab instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Unalakleet face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Facilities offering substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are an option for them 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, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
