Enrich your knowledge of substance abuse treatment solutions used
in diverse cultures within the United States!This informative
volume highlights ways in which substance abuse problems are
experienced and addressed by families in diverse populations at the
societal, familial, and individual levels. Its scope is broad,
providing you with information about the experiences and, in some
cases, healing of diverse groups of people in the United States.
These include African-American and Latino families, Hawaiian
elders, Asian/Pacific Islanders of various sexual persuasions,
Al-Anon members, and welfare recipients.What's good for the goose
is not necessarily good for the gander. What works for one
social/cultural group may not be at all helpful for another.
Substance Abuse Issues Among Families in Diverse Populations will
inform and enlighten you about the ways that people from various
backgrounds respond to treatment and about the culture-specific
treatments and interventions that work for them. This unique book
examines: mandatory drug testing of welfare recipients, or
"conditional welfare" kinship support in the cultural context of
Latino and African-American families how Hawaiian elders contribute
in the treatment of Asian and Pacific Islander women for substance
abuse, and the time-honored Hawaiian family intervention strategy

extent of social support that Asian and Pacific Islander males

effectiveness of substance abuse treatment programsSocial workers,
counselors, psychologists, those involved in ethnic studies, and
