Issues of Women in Addiction and Recovery
Wednesday, September 22, 2010
1:00 PM - 3:00 PM Eastern
Addiction and recovery impact women differently than men. Socially, as well as biologically, women and men differ. Traditional treatment, founded on the experiences of men, fails to address the core issues of women addicted to alcohol and other drugs. As a result, women often fail to get treatment; drop out of treatment early; or, having completed treatment, are unable to comply with the established aftercare plan to maintain ongoing recovery. Providing effective treatment to women requires a basic and fundamental understanding of women's core issues. This webinar, designed to enhance the skills of participants who provide services to addicted women, explores the impact of both addiction and recovery on women. Specific needs of this population will be discussed as well as effective strategies for addressing these needs.
