American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions show up to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have very likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. 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 addiction treatment services in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in South Berwick face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who live in rural regions. Programs offering substance abuse treatment services in rural areas may not be set up to provide support designed to meet the needs of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native clients can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are an option for them through which treatment facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
