American Indian/Alaska Native Alcohol-Related Incarceration and Treatment
Feldstein, Sarah W.; Venner, Kamilla L.; May, Philip A.
American Indian and Alaska Native Mental Health Research: The Journal of the National Center, v13 n3 p1-22 2006
American Indian/Alaska Natives have high rates of alcohol-related arrests and are overrepresented in justice systems. To understand the relationship between alcohol dependence, treatment, and alcoholrelated incarceration, this study queried American Indian/Alaska Natives currently in remission from alcohol dependence. Participants reported receiving 0 to 43 treatment experiences. Moreover, participants had a significantly greater number of alcohol-related incarcerations than all other treatments combined. These findings underline the importance of making alcohol treatment available within criminal justice settings.
