  1. How Does Culture Influence Holistic Therapy Planning & Client Services? Culture is a driving force behind an individual’s personal identity and may influence a person’s ability to permanently leave their addiction behind them once choose to seek holistic treatment. Understanding how race, ethnicity, gender, and socioeconomic factors influence a person’s propensity to develop drug addiction problems helps drug-dependent individuals and their families prepare for recovery.

  2. HolisticTherapy Center Treatment Plans & Cultural Influences Race & Ethnicity Therapists working in a holistic recovery center today often involve influential leaders from a drug-dependent client’s community to help create a personalized program. For example, serving a Native American tribe member achieve freedom from substance misuse may include consulting with a clan mother, a recovering tribe member and someone knowledgeable about spiritual traditions and cultural norms.

  3. Age & Social Pressure The Monitoring the Future 2017 survey published by the National Institute on Drug Abuse shows a significant drop in illicit drug use, excluding marijuana, among teens compared to earlier reports. 8th Graders – Down to 5.8% compared to 13.1% (1996) 10th Graders – Down to 9.4% compared to 18.4% (1996) 12th Graders – Down to 13.3% compared to (2001) Some teens battle underlying mental health disorders like depression, OCD, and ADHD, which require complex management along with holistic treatment plans.

  4. Gender & Substance Abuse Risks Historically, there were two static genders, male and female. Recently, the medical community has slowly shifted toward recognizing gender fluidity and self-identification as valid characteristics. Numerous longitudinal studies on the correlation between gender fluidity and substance misuse aren’t available yet; however, we do know that people considered “sexual minorities” are more than two times as likely to develop substance abuse problems as their heterosexual counterparts – 39.1% and 17.1% respectively. Gay, lesbian, and bisexual teens are especially at an increased risk, 90% more likely to use illicit substances than straight adolescents.

  5. Hope for the Suffering Multi-dimensional, holistic therapy considers culture, underlying health conditions, family dynamics and other factors that influence a drug-dependent client’s ability to return to freedom from addiction. Treating the whole person, physically, mentally, and spiritually rather than trying to create permanent change by modifying a single behavior makes perfect sense. Bringing enduring hope to the hopeless is possible when addiction is seen as an illness that touches every aspect of an individual’s life.
