American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to treatment for substance 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. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to receive rehab instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Fort Fairfield face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol rehabilitation services in rural areas often are not set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
