Booneville, AR. - Native American Or Alaska Native Languages
Native Americans and Alaska Natives are known to have much higher rates of drug abuse and alcohol and drug addiction than other races, an a circumstance which should be resolved for these cultures to endure. Although the things which trigger substance abuse may vary from person to individual, most of the causes for the high rates of drug abuse amongst Native American and Alaska Natives have to do with their culture. In fact, Native American and Alaska Native youth appear to have some of the highest rates of alcohol and drug abuse in the nation. The most apparent hurdles to helping Native Americans and Alaska Natives for addiction are cultural ones and their language. This is why it is important that Native Americans and Alaska Natives in Booneville obtain substance abuse treatment in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation facility that is culturally acceptable, but more importantly in one that takes into the account the need to supply drug and alcohol rehab in their language.
