- What unique challenges do they face, separate from one another?
- What are the strengths of these special populations?
- What are the challenges these groups face with admitting addiction?
- What psychotherapeutic approaches would be most effective with these groups? Why?
- What treatment areas are specific to the selected populations?
- What type of treatment setting would best suit your selected population?
- What is the importance of addressing prejudice in relation to their addiction treatment?
Integrate at least four peer-reviewed articles, two for each special population, to enhance an understanding of the special populations.
