American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance 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. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wasilla face is access to effective rehab programs, especially those who live in secluded regions. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this distinctive demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
