American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Programs - Friendship, ME.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone 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 rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to rehab instead of jail time. So therefore, there is an absolute need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.

One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Friendship face is access to effective services, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities providing addiction rehab services in rural areas may not be capable of offering support intended for the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
