Multicultural Counseling in Substance Abuse: Blacks and Hispanics
[ send me this essay ]
A 16 page paper discussing the need for cultural awareness on the part of treatment personnel. Cultural characteristics can dictate individuals’ reactions to stressors and treatment, and those involved in treatment must be aware of the individual’s culture’s views of and reactions to substance abuse. One of the hallmarks of current treatment methods is to encourage and support additional education and job training, which also is more difficult to accomplish among African American and Hispanic populations. The treating clinician needs to be aware of these aftercare difficulties early on, and to take steps that seek to circumvent the cultural barriers that exist. Toward this end, this paper discusses current preferred methods of substance abuse treatment, trends in demographic changes and cultural implications among African American and Hispanic ethnic groups. It concludes that culture influences how both groups come to seek substance abuse treatment and how they react to it. Clinicians not only have to be aware of cultural differences, they also need to directly address aftercare issues of education and employment. Includes an abstract and a 1-page outline. Bibliography lists 14 sources.

Opium: History And Social Impact
[ send me this essay ]
8 pages in length. Opium was the drug of choice during eighteenth- and nineteenth-century America. Popularized for its mood-altering capability, opium was first consumed in crude form and then later transformed into various recreational and medicinal strains. From the juice of the opium plant's poppy came laudanum and paragoric, two alcoholic extracts; black drop or Quaker's opium; and a preparation for smoking, of which the Chinese immigrants were particularly fond. However, crude opium was the most popularized form centuries ago, inasmuch as approximately ten percent of its composition is that of alkaloid morphine, its most powerful mood-altering ingredient. The writer discusses the history of opium usage, as well as contemporary efforts to curb opiate popularity. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
