Résumé :
ENGLISH :
The treatment needs of persons with co-occurring mental illness and substance abuse disorders is a relatively new area of inquiry. Even less information is available concerning the treatment concerns of women with dual diagnosis. A focus group was conducted with seven women as part of a larger study of effective treatments for adults with co-occurring disorders. Women responded to questions about what worked and what did not work in their past treatment experiences and what needs to be added for effective treatment. Five primary themes emerged: negative treatment experiences, negative system experiences, desirable treatment characteristics, therapeutic client characteristics, and life issues affecting treatment engagement. Two of the main treatment recommendations that emerged were the need for advocacy assistance with child protective service agencies and the need for providers to use client-centered treatment methods.
