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 signifi cantly greater number of alcohol-related
incarcerations than all other treatments combined.
These fi ndings underline the importance of making
alcohol treatment available within criminal justice
settings.
