Webinar/Virtual Training
The Take 10! Transforming Care for Women with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) and their Families series discusses current issues and challenges confronted by diverse women presenting with substance use, SUDs, and who are in recovery. Studies show that when women begin treatment for SUDs, they frequently arrive with more severe medical, behavioral, psychological, and social struggles compared to men. For these reasons, there is a need for gender-specific services.   Session 2: Substance Use Disorder in Women - History, Use, and Treatment Women experience SUD in ways that are distinct from men. Historically, access to treatment for women has been limited, a disparity that persists today. This 2-hour workshop will explore the emotional, physical, and socioeconomic factors that uniquely impact women before, during, and after treatment. Attendees will gain insights into women-specific challenges and considerations for clinicians, behavioral health professionals, peers, law enforcement, and family members.   SESSION LEARNING OBJECTIVES: Understand the history of women’s treatment and current approaches to women-centered care, with a focus on differences compared to treatment for men Identify up to five key emotional and physical experiences that are unique to women with SUD Recognize two common ways in which women with SUD are stigmatized Explore trauma-informed care strategies to enhance quality of care and increase access for female clients Apply evidence-based practices that are particularly effective in women’s treatment setting   CERTIFICATES: Registrants who fully attend this training will be eligible to receive 2 NAADAC-certified continuing education (CE) hours.
