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.
