“…Integrated treatment programs have primarily taken two forms: residential and outpatient. Integrated residential programs or "therapeutic communities," such as the several hundred developed in the United States, offer long-term (15-18 months) treatment services to women and their children (e.g., Coletti et al 1995;Graham et al 1997). Integrated outpatient treatment programs use the "one-stop shop" model in which addiction, prenatal, parenting, and child services are provided on-site through collaborative service arrangements (e.g., Benoit et al 2003;Motz et al 2006;Niccols and Sword 2005).…”

Across cultures, approximately one third of people with drug dependence are women of child-bearing age. There is emerging evidence regarding the effectiveness of integrating pregnancy, parenting, and child development services with addiction services. In 2007, we conducted a national survey of addiction agencies serving women to provide preliminary information on available services. Approximately one half of the program managers reported providing some type of pregnancy-, parenting-, or child-related services, the majority of which were external referrals, and very few agencies provided any services for children under 5 years. These findings indicate a gap in services in Canada. Reliable data on services for women with substance use issues and their children is essential to ensure appropriate resource allocation. Program managers reported preferring to receive practice-related research information through face-to-face contact, information which will be helpful to knowledge translation efforts.

“…Completion rates are often reported to be lower for women compared to men, possibly due to the higher prevalence of depression among female substance abusers (4,13). DeLeon found female dropouts had significantly higher scores on the Beck Depression Scale (14), and Williams and Roberts found that women with less depression tended to stay in treatment longer (15).…”

This study compared factors that predict treatment outcomes in men and women randomly assigned to two therapeutic communities differing primarily in length of inpatient and outpatient treatment. Based on the prior research literature comparing treatment outcomes of men and women, we formulated the following research question: Do factors that predict drug use at follow-up, postdischarge arrest, and employment at follow-up differ for men and women? Self-reports and objective measures of criminal activity and substance abuse were collected at pre- and posttreatment interviews. Separate regression analyses were conducted for men and women for each of the three outcome variables. The results showed that the predictors of outcome for men and women were similar. Clients who completed the 12-month treatment programs had better outcomes regardless of gender. Men and women who completed treatment were characterized at follow-up by substantial reductions in drug use and arrests and by increased employment. Results further suggested that the longer residential treatment program had a particularly beneficial impact on women. Number of prior arrests was also associated with postdischarge outcomes for women. Women with more arrests at admission were more likely to have a postdischarge arrest and less likely to be employed at follow-up. This finding provides invaluable information about which women may be at greater risk for relapse and in need of additional services. We conclude that completion of treatment is the key predictor of treatment outcomes for both men and women.

“…Although histories of trauma, mental illness, dual addictions, child maltreatment, and many other factors complicate treatment for women, there is a rapidly growing body of literature describing model substance abuse treatment programs that are designed to address these complex needs (e.g., Coletti et al, 1995;Graham, Graham, Sowell, & Ziegler, 1997;Metsch et al, 1995). Many of the programs described in the literature are long-term residential treatment programs where mothers live with their children while receiving comprehensive treatment services.…”
