Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine women's addiction to alcohol and other drugs from a feminist perspective.

  • To propose a new intervention model tailored to women's experiences.

Main Methods:

  • A review of published literature from the past decade.
  • Analysis of studies focusing on the etiology of women's drug-use behavior.
  • Development of a feminist-informed intervention model.

Main Results:

  • Traditional treatment models are inadequate for pregnant women with substance use disorders.
  • Relationships play a critical role in the development and maintenance of substance use in women.
  • A male-oriented approach overlooks crucial psychosocial factors.

Conclusions:

  • A feminist perspective is essential for understanding and treating women's addiction.
