American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Drug and Alcohol Rehabilitation Facilities - South China, ME.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require treatment 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. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a diversion option to receive rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to provide services for all of the various needs of American Indian or Alaska Natives, including addiction rehabilitation services in native languages.

One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in South China face is access to effective services, particularly those who reside in rural locations. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural areas may not be capable of offering strategic planning aimed at meeting the needs of this special group of people including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders involved in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which treatment services are an option for them through which rehab facilities, and which will best suit their needs. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, which have very effectively established programs which offer evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive rehab services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
