Cost of Treatment for Chemical Dependency
[ send me this paper ]
In today's fast paced, technology oriented and capitalistic world the issue of mental health care and , specifically, chemical dependency treatment, has become very cost oriented. Because of the nature of addiction, the addict is often without resources to cover the cost of treatment. "Drug and alcohol dependency are escalating rapidly as a percentage of the total patient population among all social classes. This 9 page paper asserts that cost effective treatment can best be served by assessing the individual's circumstances and providing the least restrictive setting best suited for the attainment of abstinence, both in the immediate future and for the duration of the individual's lifetime. This is best accomplished by a flexible system that allows both inpatient and outpatient services to be accessed, with inpatient services being utilized only when other alternatives have been explored and are found to be lacking in feasibility.

Counseling Latino Clients in Regards to Cultural Considerations
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 12 page paper discussing issues in regards to counseling Latino clients. Therapists who are counseling Latino men and women must take into account various cultural and ethnic values traditional in Latino families including adherence to machismo, marianismo, persondisimo, simpatia, respeto and familism; all of which define the gender, family and community relations and rely on protection, support, respect and honor. However, in regards to Latinos in the United States, differences between individuals also rely on acculturation levels. In the case of counseling Latina women who have been raped or sexually abused, therapists must take into account not only traditional values of Latinos, but also acculturation levels, concepts of identity, biculturalism, stages of identity development, attitudes on present day sexual influences, health care formality, the current state of family influences and the shifting gender roles among other issues.
