Recovery Services for Women Webinar on Thursday, February 27 from 10:30 am - 12:00 pm

Currently, women’s involvement in correctional and substance use disorders (SUD) treatment systems is rapidly outpacing men. Most of these programs are based upon gender-neutral services, meaning their programs were designed with men in mind.

This webinar will address core issues that are unique to female SUDs treatment clients in comparison to their mail counterparts regarding weight and energy as a driving mechanism to use, triggers for relapse, trends in drug use for women and the complexity of health-related complications and psychosocial needs, prescription medication, and over-the-counter drug manipulation. Finally, gender-responsive approaches to augment and enhance existing treatment services will be discussed.
