Abstract
The existence of numerous ethnic and racial disparities suggests that African Americans and other people of color are particularly ill served by the prevailing acute-care approaches to addiction treatment. This article (1) explores recovery management as an alternative framework for providing effective addiction treatment for African Americans; (2) illustrates the implementation of this approach by presenting examples from the Amistad Village Project, a culturally competent and recovery-oriented treatment program for African American men and women that was piloted and studied in New Haven, Connecticut; and (3) articulates the service recipient's perspective on the critical elements of effective substance use disorder treatment for African American individuals.
