Native Americans and Alaska Natives are known to have much increased rates of abuse and drug addiction than other races, an a circumstance which has to be addressed for these people to endure. Although the reasons may vary from individual to individual, most of the causes for the significantly higher rates of abuse among Native American and Alaska Natives related to their culture. First of all, Native American and Alaska Native adolescents appear to have some of the highest rates of alcohol and drug abuse in the nation. The most evident barriers to helping Native Americans and Alaska Natives for drug and alcohol addiction are cultural differences and their language. Due to this it is crucial that Native Americans and Alaska Natives in Elk Ridge, UT. receive rehab treatment in a drug and alcohol rehab center that is culturally acceptable, but most importantly in one that considers the need to supply drug rehabilitation in their native tongue.
