Cultural influences–limited here to racial and
ethnic groups–can be powerful forces in addiction etiology and
treatment. Beliefs of how addition is defined and perceived, as well as
motivation to seek treatment or change addictive behaviors, can be
strongly influenced by cultural mores. Counselors working with addicted
clients should have a basic foundation knowledge of such beliefs in
order to better understand their clients in context.
