American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to need rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the very unique requirements of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Mechanic Falls face is access to comprehensive and effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in rural areas. Facilities providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural areas commonly are not set up to provide support aimed at meeting the needs of this unique demographic including addiction rehabilitation services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will be most effective for their scenario. There have been many grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which offer evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
