American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. Reversely, 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 arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a diversion option to go to treatment in lieu of jail times for their charges. So as one can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to provide services for all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.
One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Millinocket face is access to comprehensive and effective treatment facilities, particularly those who live in rural areas. Facilities providing substance abuse treatment services in rural areas commonly are not capable of offering support designed to meet the needs and demands of this unique group of people including addiction rehabilitation services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which types of treatment services are an option for them and through which treatment facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants sanctioned in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which provide evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
