Chemical Dependency: Women at Risk

By Brenda Underhill and Dana Finnegan

Chemical Dependency: Women at Risk shows readers how to design and implement drug and alcohol treatment programs that take into account not only gender but also the cultural differences among women. This authoritative book encourages professionals in the field--whether counselors, researchers, or health care providers--to abandon "one size fits all" treatment approaches that fail to address the individual needs of women undergoing substance abuse treatment. Instead, they learn to recognize and respect cultural and individual differences among women. Use this book as a guide for developing your own innovative multicultural treatment approaches to substance abuse.
