Incarcerated women have high rates of substance abuse problems and trauma. A variety of variables may influence whether these women seek help or are referred for substance abuse problems. This study reports an exploratory project on service utilization among incarcerated substance-dependent women (N = 40) in southeastern Idaho. Using self-report and interview tools, most participants reported some substance abuse treatment history, although extent and types of treatment varied. Most of the women also reported some type of childhood abuse. Age, income, and consequences of alcohol and other drug use related positively to substance abuse treatment. However, severity of childhood sexual abuse and current trauma symptoms were negatively correlated with substance abuse treatment episodes. These women may use substances to cope with childhood trauma or may not perceive the substance abuse system as responsive to their co-occurring trauma symptoms.
被监禁的女性有很高的药物滥用问题和创伤发生率。许多变量可能会影响这些女性是否寻求帮助或被转介治疗药物滥用问题。本研究报告了爱达荷州东南部被监禁的药物依赖女性（N=40）的服务利用情况的探索性项目。使用自我报告和访谈工具，大多数参与者报告了一些药物滥用治疗史，尽管治疗的程度和类型有所不同。大多数女性还报告了某种类型的儿童期虐待。年龄、收入以及酒精和其他药物使用的后果与药物滥用治疗呈正相关。然而，童年期性虐待的严重程度和当前的创伤症状与药物滥用治疗次数呈负相关。这些女性可能会使用物质来应对童年创伤，或者她们可能不会认为药物滥用系统对她们同时存在的创伤症状有反应。
