| We are requesting funding to enable us to enhance Companeros en Recuperacion, a residential substance abuse treatment program for Hispanic women who do not speak English. These women suffer from addiction, abuse and, in many instances, mental illness. Services will provide culturally competent treatment including NIDA's Community Based Outreach Model as well as Motivational Enhancement Therapy. Services also will include assessments, treatment planning, family therapy using NIDA's Strengthening Families Program, individual counseling, evaluation and psychotropic medication, group therapy, skills building workshops, addiction workshops, parenting workshops, basic medical care, and case management. Moreover, patients will receive English as a second language and vocational skills in addition to the comprehensive services described above. |
