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

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need treatment for substance abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.

One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Howland face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded regions. Facilities offering addiction rehab services in rural regions may not be able to offer strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are available to them through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
