American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - New Harbor, 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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So as you can see, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover all of the very unique needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.

One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in New Harbor face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who reside in secluded locations. Facilities providing addiction treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide strategic planning 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 consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants approved in recent years to cover these types of services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
