American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - Kittery, 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 prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.

One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Kittery face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded areas. Programs offering substance abuse treatment services in rural regions often are not able to offer support designed to meet the needs of this special demographic including substance abuse treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants approved in recent years to help pay for these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
