TY - JOUR PY - 2006// TI - American Indian/Alaska Native alcohol-related incarceration and treatment JO - American Indian and Alaska Native mental health research A1 - Feldstein, Sarah W. A1 - Venner, Kamilla L. A1 - May, Philip A. SP - 1 EP - 22 VL - 13 IS - 3 N2 - 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 alcohol-related 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.
