Résumé :
Although women with substance use disorders represent a heterogeneous group, it is clear that, in general, morbidity and mortality for women with substance use disorders equal or exceed those for men. In spite of this, women come to substance abuse treatment programs far less frequently than do men. Increased attention to substance use histories of women seen in all health care settings may help in the identification and treatment of women with substance use disorders. The precipitants of the onset of problem drinking in women, as well as the effect of other psychiatric disorders and symptoms, continue to be areas that require additional research. Furthermore, there is a paucity of information detailing differences and similarities in the process of recovery and the antecedents of relapse in women and men. Finally, further research is needed to assess the effectiveness of specific treatments for substance dependence and to determine which treatment modalities are specifically effective for women and men.
