Overview

Over the past forty years our knowledge of women’s lives has increased dramatically, and we have added significantly to our understanding of the treatment needs of women with substance use disorders. Based on the Women’s Integrated Treatment model developed by Dr. Covington, this webinar discusses the integration of the foundational theories: addiction, women’s psychological development, and trauma. As the creator of the original definition of gender-responsive services, Dr. Covington also shares an updated definition as well as the current knowledge on the relationship between addiction and trauma.  Resources for the development of women’s services are provided including a discussion of women and The Twelve Steps.
