American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Drug and Alcohol Treatment Programs - East Poland, ME.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is definitely a need for a variety of service types to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.

One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in East Poland face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in rural regions. Programs providing addiction treatment services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this unique group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
