Kobuk, Alaska - Native Language Assistance
Native Americans and Alaska Natives have considerably increased rates of drug abuse and drug addiction than other ethnicities, an a circumstance which has to be addressed for these people to survive. Although the causes may vary from person to individual, most of the reasons for the higher rates of substance abuse among Native American and Alaska Natives are cultural ones. First of all, Native American and Alaska Native adolescents appear to have some of the highest rates of alcohol and drug abuse in the nation. The most obvious hurdles to treating Native Americans and Alaska Natives for drug addiction are cultural differences and language. This is why it is vital that Native Americans and Alaska Natives in Kobuk, AK. receive treatment services in an alcohol and drug rehabilitation facility that is understanding of their culture, and more importantly in one that considers the need to offer drug and alcohol rehabilitation in their native tongue.
