American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Dixmont, ME.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs 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 Dixmont face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Programs providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas commonly are not 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 individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to find out which services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which ones will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous 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 rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
