The first two questions are about you and your lenses. Take time to reflect
- What is your identified culture? How doyour own cultural beliefs impact your approach to providing substance use disorder counseling services to clients of diverse backgrounds?
- Keeping the Unger reading in mind: Is there a particular culture, ethnic, or religious group that will provide a more substantial challenge to you than others?
- Does the criminal justice system have a role in the treatment process?
- Have substance use disordered offenders been treated effectively (at all?) by the modern private for profitcorrectional system?
- Summarize and comment on Conley’s research on the Elkhorn and Nexus programs. What was the bottom line there?
