“…Exploration of the behavior that surrounds and supports addiction is central to therapeutic intervention, and recovery is assumed to require a complete change in lifestyle. Emphasis is thus placed on dissociation from drug-using peers, total abstinence, cultivation of life skills, and complete honesty regarding past and present behavior (Caddy & Block, 1983; Gerstein & Harwood, 1990; Moore, 1971). This approach reflects a model of substance abuse treatment that was originally designed by and for men, but it is frequently generalized to women, as well.…”

The distinctive needs of chemically dependent women are contrasted with those of men and discussed in relationship to traditional mixed-gender therapy groups. A qualitative study of the contrasting experiences of women in mixed-gender and women-only treatment groups confirmed the hypothesis that their treatment needs are better met in the latter, and that these groups are an essential component of programs treating chemically dependent women.

The study was conducted to determine the predictive value of attitudes towards the goals derived from the disease model of alcoholism (life-long acceptance of alcoholic status and endorsement of abstinence) as well as towards self-help groups. The criteria to be predicted were the intention to participate and actual participation in self-help groups as well as four indicators of therapeutic success. Only in cross-sectional analysis were significant correlations found. Longitudinally, there were no relevant relationships between the attitudes expressed by the patients at the end of inpatient treatment (t1) and subsequent participation in self-help groups or indicators of therapeutic success (t2: follow-up, 9 month after discharge). The discrepancy between cross-sectional and longitudinal analysis can be attributed to the fact that attitudes become increasingly less stable with time. This indicates that it is only possible to a limited extent to predict from the attitudes expressed during inpatient treatment how patients will actually behave in daily life outside the clinic. The consequences of these findings for therapy are discussed.
