Download or read book Substance Abuse Administrative Issues in Outpatient Treatment TIP 46 written by U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and published by Lulu.com. This book was released on 2019-11-23 with total page 162 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The primary audience for this TIP is administrators of outpatient substance abuse treatment programs. A few words about this audience are in order. Whereas TIP 8 addressed intensive outpatient treatment, the current TIP drops the word "intensive" from its title because the consensus panel hopes that this TIP will find an audience beyond administrators of IOT programs. Most of the concepts and guidelines included in this TIP apply to the administration of all substance abuse outpatient treatment (OT) programs. On those rare occasions when information applies only to IOT programs, the authors have been sure to make this clear. Although the term "administrator" is used most often to describe the audience for this book, the terms "executive" and "director" appear as well and are used interchangeably with administrator. These overlapping terms emphasize the varied roles and responsibilities that administrators assume.

Download or read book American Indian and Alaska Native Children and Mental Health written by Paul Spicer and published by Bloomsbury Publishing USA. This book was released on 2011-09-22 with total page 425 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This unique book examines the physical, psychological, social, and environmental factors that support or undermine healthy development in American Indian children, including economics, biology, and public policies. The reasons for mental health issues among American Indian and Alaska Native children have not been well understood by investigators outside of tribal communities. Developing appropriate methodological approaches and evidence-based programs for helping these youths is an urgent priority in developmental science. This work must be done in ways that are cognizant of how the negative consequences of colonization contribute to American Indian and Alaska Native tribal members' underutilization of mental health services, higher therapy dropout rates, and poor response to culturally insensitive treatment programs. This book examines the forces affecting psychological development and mental health in American Indian children today. Experts from leading universities discuss factors such as family conditions, economic status, and academic achievement, as well as political, social, national, and global influences, including racism. Specific attention is paid to topics such as the role of community in youth mental health issues, depression in American Indian parents, substance abuse and alcohol dependency, and the unique socioeconomic characteristics of this ethnic group.
