American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - South Bristol, 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 also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Almost 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment in lieu of jail time. So as one can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the very unique needs of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment services in native languages.

One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in South Bristol face is access to comprehensive treatment facilities, particularly those who live in secluded regions. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural areas commonly are not capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs and demands of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with stakeholders and elders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which services are available to them and through which facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants sanctioned in recent years to help pay for these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
