American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Programs - South Gardiner, ME.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to be in need to rehabilitation for drug and alcohol abuse and addiction. Conversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are more prone to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Roughly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native addiction treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have very likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is a definite need for a variety of service types to cover 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 Gardiner face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who reside in secluded areas. Facilities providing drug and alcohol treatment services in rural regions may not be able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can work with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to figure out which treatment services are available to them and through which rehab facilities, and which will work best for their particular situation. There have been many grants offered in recent years to cover these types of treatment services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
