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. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Mckinleyville face is access to effective services, especially those who reside in rural regions. Facilities providing addiction treatment services in rural areas may not be capable of offering support designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
