The success of the culturally relevant program has been linked to the involvement of family in the treatment plan and the recognition of clients culture. The premise of a culturally specific program is that substance use, its impact on people, and treatment procedures are not the same across various culture, gender and sexual orientation. However, the program has not been utilized in assisting the clients from Somalia who are struggling with drug addiction in Minnesota. In the Somali community, drug addiction is seen as a moral failure, a taboo and a choice people make. There is a mismatch between Somalis belief system and the western definition of addiction. Somalis beliefs system is an asset that can be explored as a treatment option for this population.
