Overview
of Principles of ATOD Prevention and Treatment Among Women
Course
developed by Pamela Petersen-Baston, CAP, CAPP.
This course is designed to provide information needed to better understand,
prevent, intervene, and treat women's ATOD abuse. The beginning of this
course reviews the specific trends in alcohol, illicit drugs, prescription
and over-the-counter drug use among women. These trends are examined relative
to diverse population groups of women including: women of various racial
and ethnic groups; women in the criminal justice system; pregnant women;
and women who are homeless or lesbian.
Physiological and psychological health effects related to women's ATOD use is outlined in the course, including: changes in metabolism, STDs (including HIV), impacts on pregnancy, reproductive difficulties and self-esteem. Specific issues affecting women's ATOD use are discussed, such as: sexuality, violence, dual disorders, relationships and children.
Detailed
treatment procedures such as removing barriers to service access, components
of comprehensive care, relationship issues, cultural competence, and retention
in treatment are included. An increased level of understanding and an
expanded knowledge base obtained from this course can assist in meeting
the diverse needs of substance abusing women and contribute to an improved
effectiveness of services available to them.
