One of the problems that American Indian and Alaska Natives in Saranac Lake face is access to effective rehab programs, particularly those who reside in secluded locations. Programs providing substance abuse treatment services in rural areas commonly are not able to offer strategic planning designed to meet the needs and demands of this distinctive group of people including addiction treatment services in their language. American Indian and Alaska Native individuals can consult with stakeholders and elders working in mental health services for their tribe or region to determine which treatment services are available to them and through which facilities, and which ones will be most effective for their scenario. There have been numerous grants offered in recent years to cover these types of rehab services for American and Alaska Native clients, that have very effectively established treatment programs which provide evidence based treatment that also encompasses culturally sensitive recovery services including those in their language which are provided by bi-lingual treatment staff, medical staff, etc.
