American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Centers - Etna, ME.

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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction treatment services in native languages.

One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Etna face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who live in rural areas. Programs offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions commonly are not able to offer strategic planning intended for the needs of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
