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 likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Upper Kalskag face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, especially those who live in rural areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
