Physicians' attitudes are important in dealing with issues of substance abuse in women. The primary care physician is in a unique position to take advantage of the doctor-patient relationship and initiate diagnosis and treatment of substance abuse. When the primary care physician is supportive of the patient, both begin from a position of strength. Patients are no more to blame for contracting the disease state than for getting other medical conditions for which they are at risk. Treatment of substance abuse in women must acknowledge that significant differences exist between men and women patients. Most treatment programs have been based on research studies in men. Current efforts are under way to update the information necessary to deal effectively with the problem of substance abuse among women.
医生的态度在处理女性药物滥用问题时至关重要。初级保健医生处于利用医患关系并启动药物滥用诊断和治疗的独特位置。当初级保健医生支持患者时，双方都从有利地位出发。患者感染疾病状态并不比患上其他有风险的医疗状况更应受到指责。女性药物滥用的治疗必须承认男性和女性患者之间存在显著差异。大多数治疗项目都基于对男性的研究。目前正在努力更新有效应对女性药物滥用问题所需的信息。
