COURSE SYNOPSIS: The field of addictions has evolved into a system of many sub systems working with individuals of diverse populations. For example, there are ethnic populations that do not fare well in traditional treatment systems. Therefore, these populations seek out other treatment sources that do not fit in the traditional system. In this seminar we will explore the importance of non-traditional treatment approached and together design an action plan outline that can be of use at their agencies.
