“…This behavior must be assessed for, and women who have been sexually abused should be referred to women-only groups (Bogart & Pearce, 2003). Snow, Jewell, and Anderson (1997) found themes similar to those of Nelson-Zlupko and colleagues (1996) among a sample of 50 women in recovery. The women identified that support in developing healthy relationships and improved self-esteem, therapy to address emotional issues, and assistance with parenting skills were important aspects of treatment programs that facilitated their recovery.…”

“…The women identified that support in developing healthy relationships and improved self-esteem, therapy to address emotional issues, and assistance with parenting skills were important aspects of treatment programs that facilitated their recovery. A strong social support system was also identified as an essential component to successful recovery for women (Rush, 1997;Snow et al, 1997). Grella, Polinsky, Hser, and Perry (1999) compared the characteristics of 31 women-only programs and 130 mixed-gender programs.…”

BACKGROUND: Substance abuse affects men and women differently, and as a result, treatment programs should be designed specific to their unique needs. The nonpharmacological treatment of substance abuse among women has been largely neglected in the literature. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this review was to analyze critically the existing literature related to the nonpharmacological treatment of substance abuse among women. The methodological rigor of existing research was critiqued and gaps in knowledge identified. DESIGN : The databases Cumulative Index to Nursing and Allied Health Literature (CINAHL), PsycINFO, Sociological Abstracts, and MEDLINE were searched using the key words women and substance abuse treatment . Studies included in the review were those that were published between 1975 and 2003 and were related to the nonpharmacological treatment of substance abuse for women. RESULTS: Forty-three articles were reviewed. Evidence suggests that there are gender and cultural differences related to substance abuse. There is a dearth of research related to the effectiveness of treatment interventions designed specifically for women who abuse substances. The research that exists is limited in its theoretical foundation and methodological rigor. CONCLUSIONS : Few treatment programs reflect gender and cultural differences, leaving gaps in substance abuse treatment among women. Furthermore, existing research related to women and substance abuse treatment lacks a robust scientific foundation. Future research should be theoretically based and methodologically sound to advance the evidence base of substance abuse treatment for women.

Substance abuse is a serious concern in the profession of nursing. The American Nurses Association (1997) estimates that 10% to 20% of nurses have substance abuse problems, and that 6% to 8% of registered nurses are impaired due to their abuse of alcohol and other drugs. Chemical dependency is considered a disease that requires treatment. Early identification and treatment of the chemically dependent nurse is important for the safety of the public and for the well-being of the nurse and her profession. This article addresses substance abuse from a biopsychosocial perspective, and includes a description of an approach to treatment and suggestions for the role of nursing administration.

“…Changes that occur during recovery are not well-documented (Murphy & Hoffman, 1993;Snow, Jewell, & Anderson, 1997). Even less literature is available on the specific changes that occur during the first year following a woman's decision to stop drinking or using drugs.…”

“…Avoidance of high-risk relapse situations and the promotion of positive health habits are crucial elements of the process (Prochaska et al, 1992). Recovery is a dynamic process of change; has no endpoint, and may require lifelong vigilance (Hall, 1992;Murphy, 1993;Snow et al, 1997).…”
