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 feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 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 receive rehab 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 various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Wanakena face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Programs offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not able to offer support aimed at meeting the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
