The article presents a study aimed to identify needs of Chaldeans with opioid addiction. It identified the absence of adequate mental health services for the growing number of Chaldeans resettled in the U.S. who escaped persecution in Iraq, and reports these services may not be accessible to limited English speakers as Chaldeans may not participate in programs that they feel lack cultural context or negate the therapeutic relevance of the family unit.
