Intercultural Responses to drug-related challenges for refugees, migrants and IDPS (2022)

Handbook for professionals working in the field of addictions with refugees, migrants, and internally displaced persons

This handbook aims to provide practitioners with a comprehensive guide to understanding the needs of migrants, refugees and IDPs in the context of substance use disorder, and how to meet and respond to their needs in a culturally appropriate manner. It is intended to be a valuable resource for various professionals and policy makers working with the target population, as it offers advice and recommendations to consider when implementing actions and policies, as well as working alongside the target population in general.
This handbook also takes a human rights centred approach and thus emphasises the necessity of equal access to treatment and intercultural competence to appropriately address the individual needs of the target population and preserve their dignity.
