American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - East Winthrop, ME.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, 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 drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.

One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in East Winthrop face is access to comprehensive services, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Programs providing drug and alcohol rehab services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are an option for them and through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
