SAMHSA provides information on how to improve cultural competence so that it can help with treating patients with Substance Use Disorders. The hospital staff (Counselors) should be culturally aware and use language that is relatable to the patient, as well as use appropriate cultural tools that can help in behavioral health treatments for different racial and ethnic groups.
