American Indian or Alaska Native Languages - Alcohol and Drug Treatment Facilities - Maine, NY.

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. Reversely, American Indians and Alaska Natives are also more likely to feel the need to seek treatment than other racial/ethnic groups. Nearly 50% of American Indian and Alaska Native drug and alcohol treatment admissions arrive to rehab as criminal justice clients, meaning they have most likely accepted a court ordered diversion program to go to treatment instead of jail time. So as you can see, there is an absolute need for different types of treatment programs to cover all of the various requirements of this client demographic, including substance abuse treatment programs in native languages.

One of the challenges that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Maine face is access to effective treatment facilities, especially those who reside in secluded locations. Programs providing addiction rehabilitation services in rural regions may not be capable of offering support designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including substance abuse treatment services in their native language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with elders and stakeholders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which services are an option for them and through which facilities, and which ones will best suit their needs. 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 programs which provide evidence based treatment that also integrates culturally sensitive rehab services including those in their language which are performed by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
