American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Drug and Alcohol Rehab Programs - Brewer, ME.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.

One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Brewer face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Programs providing substance abuse rehabilitation services in rural areas may not be able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which types of treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones 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, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
