Research with chemically dependent women over the past two decades indicates that women substance abusers have special characteristics and needs that warrant gender-sensitive drug-treatment approaches. While the potential benefit of such treatment seems clear, little empirical data is available on how women perceive the effectiveness of gender-sensitive specialized drug treatment. This article presents findings from an exploratory study of the present and past treatment experiences of 24 women in recovery. Results indicate that while some specialized services such as child care and women-only therapy groups are increasingly available, many drug-treatment programs fail to provide these services in a context which supports and promotes women. As a result, women in drug treatment continue to experience negative stereotyping and sexual harassment as their gender-specific needs remain ignored, silenced, or deemed pathological. Major gaps in drug treatment for women are discussed as are implications for the provision of effective gender-sensitive treatment.
过去二十年对药物成瘾女性的研究表明，女性药物滥用者具有特殊的特征和需求，这需要采用对性别敏感的药物治疗方法。虽然这种治疗的潜在益处似乎很明显，但关于女性如何看待对性别敏感的专门药物治疗的有效性，几乎没有实证数据。本文呈现了一项对24名康复女性目前和过去治疗经历的探索性研究的结果。结果表明，虽然诸如儿童保育和女性专属治疗小组等一些专门服务越来越容易获得，但许多药物治疗项目未能在支持和促进女性的环境中提供这些服务。因此，接受药物治疗的女性继续经历负面刻板印象和性骚扰，因为她们特定性别的需求仍然被忽视、压制或视为病态。文中讨论了女性药物治疗中的主要差距以及提供有效的对性别敏感治疗的意义。
