American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Centers - South Paris, ME.

American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require rehabilitation for substance abuse and addiction. On the Contrary, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more prone to seek treatment on their own will more than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to treatment as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely agreed to a court ordered diversion program to go to rehab instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is a definite need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction treatment programs in native languages.

One of the barriers that American Indian and Alaska Natives in South Paris face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, especially those who reside in rural locations. Programs offering substance abuse rehab services in rural regions commonly are not set up to provide strategic planning intended for the needs of this special demographic including addiction treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native people can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to figure out which types of treatment services are available to them through which rehab 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 services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective recovery programs which offer evidence based treatment that also incorporates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual staff members.
