  • HTML format (contains the data table that was used to construct each figure; this data table is not found in printed or PDF version)

Highlights:

The majority of substance abuse treat­ment facilities operated by a Tribal government (73 percent) or the Indian Health Service (63 percent) were located in rural areas, while the major­ity of privately operated or State/local/community government-operated facili­ties that served the American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) population were located in urban areas (62 percent) .  Substance abuse treatment facilities operated by a Tribal government were more likely to provide only outpatient services than facilities operated by the Indian Health Service or facilities serv­ing the AI/AN populations that were operated by a private organization or a State/local/community government.  Forty-three percent of AI/AN facilities offered treatment services in one or more AI/AN languages.
