American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Rehabilitation Centers - Damariscotta, ME.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.

One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Damariscotta face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in rural areas. Facilities offering addiction rehab services in rural regions may not be set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
