Title: Treatment Considerations for Muslim Populations
There are an estimated 1.5 billion Muslims worldwide and is the second fastest growing religion in the world
behind Christianity. This program will be addressing addiction treatment considerations for Muslim
populations. This population experience a high degree of hostility and discrimination in American society.
Additionally, Muslim populations experience acculturative stress which can lead to vulnerabilities for
developing substance use disorders. Should a substance use disorder present within this population, we will
explore the unique strengths Muslim populations can bring to the treatment setting and how to promote
culturally sensitive approaches.
