American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Canton, ME.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail time. So therefore, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.

One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Canton face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Facilities offering addiction rehab services in rural regions often are not set up to provide strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established recovery programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
