Book Synopsis
Women bring special issues to drug and alcohol addiction and treatment. Although women traditionally have been less represented than men in surveys of drug and alcohol use, the gap has been narrowing in the last decade. Women in substance abuse treatment are more likely to be diagnosed with a mental heath disorder than men and issues of domestic violence and sexual abuse, eating disorders, child care and home responsibilities, as well as social acceptance and access to care, present greater burdens for women in treatment. This book presents leading edge research on this topic from around the globe.
