American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in East Machias face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural regions. Facilities providing addiction treatment services in rural regions often are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs of this special group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
