Recovery is a difficult road. For non-English speakers, accessing services and understanding the roots of addiction is a greater challenge. When Latino families move to Oregon, they not only leave behind their relatives and friends but also their community and support networks. Central City Concern developed the culturally-specific Puentes program to support Latinos in recovery in 2005. Puentes uses a multidisciplinary approach to provide alcohol and drug treatment and mental health care to individuals and to the entire family in a way that mitigates stigma and fear. Puentes staff are bilingual and bicultural; they understand Latino values, family roles and community structures helping Latino clients gain insight into cultural influences on behavior. Puentes clients receive primary health care, a recovery mentor, a mentor for the entire family and a case manager to help with housing and follow up care. With treatment, support and shelter, the family or individual can move from crisis to stability and reunification.
