Despite studies showing that women with substance use disorders have a faster course towards severity than men with addictions, most treatment programs in the U.S. have been developed using research based solely on men. There are inherent challenges for women seeking treatment for their addiction like: attending to childcare, managing a career and home, medical complications, trauma and psychological distress.
