American Indians and Alaska Natives are historically more likely than individuals of other racial and ethnic groups to require 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. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native substance abuse treatment admissions show up to rehab as criminal justice clients, which means they have most likely accepted a diversion option to receive treatment instead of jail times for their charges. So therefore, there is definitely a need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various needs of this client demographic, including addiction rehabilitation programs in native languages.
One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in West Boothbay Harbor face is access to comprehensive rehab programs, particularly those who live in secluded areas. Programs providing addiction rehab services in rural regions often are not set up to provide 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 people can work with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their region or tribe to find out which treatment services are available to them 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 services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effective treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive treatment services delivered in their language which are performed by bi-lingual staff members.
