English to Russian Other Medical: Health Care Drug Use Disorders

Several subgroups within the larger population of individuals affected by drug use disorders require special consideration and often specialized care. Groups with specific needs include but are not limited to adolescents, elderly, women, pregnant women, sex workers, sexual and gender minorities, ethnic and religious minorities, individuals involved with criminal justice system and individuals that are socially marginalized. Working with those special groups requires differentiated and individualized treatment planning that considers their unique vulnerabilities and needs. For some of these subgroups, special considerations will need to be addressed directly in every setting on the treatment continuum.
