American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Rehab Programs - Freeport, ME.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require recovery services for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment 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 accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to 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 provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.

One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Freeport face is access to comprehensive services, especially those who live in rural locations. Programs offering addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions often are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
