American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Facilities - Bar Mills, ME.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also 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 arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.

One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Bar Mills face is access to effective services, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs offering drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to help pay for these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
