Abstract
Previous research on American Indian drug abuse has focused on descriptive, epidemiological studies of youth. There exists a paucity of information concerning adult use, patterns of use, and treatment approaches. Data on characteristics of 71 adult American Indians in an urban treatment program are reported, including patterns of use and cultural implications of use. The study results discuss the tendency for introduction to drugs in the street setting and patterns of combination drug use.This publication has 26 references indexed in Scilit:
