Take 10! Transforming Care for Women with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) and Their Families, Topic 4 (Overview Session): Intersections of SUDs and Trauma

The Take 10! Transforming Care for Women with Substance Use Disorders (SUDs) and their Families series discusses current issues and challenges confronted by women presenting with substance use, SUDs, and who are in recovery. Women experience SUD in ways that are distinct from men. 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 different treatment methods.

 

Series Learning Objectives

This series will address:

  • Best practices for treating women with SUDs in the United States, with a focus on the Midwest
  • The link between trauma, substance use, and other co-morbidities in women
  • Using trauma-informed approaches during treatment when appropriate
  • Effective clinical strategies, interventions, and resources that help improve engagement, retention, and completion of treatment programs

 

Topic 4 (Overview Session): Intersections of SUDs and Trauma

This 30-minute overview session will introduce participants to the emotional, physical, and socioeconomic factors that uniquely impact women during treatment, and especially how these factors relate to the intersections of SUDs and trauma.
