What special issues might arise when dealing with different cultural groups?
The use of the Hazelden Co-occurring Disorders Program interventions is not limited to certain races, ethnicities, or cultures. The educational information and inspirational stories included in the program guides and in the program DVD depict and honor individual and cultural diversity. This aspect of the Hazelden Co-occurring Disorders Program makes it very appealing to people in many cultures. The delivery of information can be tailored to a particular population to make it as culturally specific as desired. The use of illustrations that depict diversity helps make the material more acceptable by a wide range of cultures and makes the information more easily understood by patients whose drug use and mental states have resulted in reduced cognitive abilities.
