Substance Abuse Treatment: Addressing the Specific Needs of Women





SAMHSA's Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) 51, Substance Abuse Treatment: Addressing the Specific Needs of Women, will help professionals provide effective, up-to-date treatment to women with substance use disorders by taking into account their unique treatment needs.

The information in TIP 51 is based on women's experiences, as well as best or promising practices and research-based approaches. This eight-chapter TIP presents treatment approaches for women that consider a woman's social and economic environments; her relationships with family members, significant others, and support systems; and the impact of gender and culture on treatment.
