Physiological Differences
After completing the assigned reading, it should be clear that there are significant physiological differences between men and women. Due to these differences, when drugs and/or alcohol are introduced to the body, the impact can also be very different amongst men and women. Many argue that the basis of drug and alcohol treatment is founded on research on men (without considering that the experience of women may be different). Describe at least two key considerations that should be implemented in treatment for women and explain why.

Gender may affect susceptibility, recovery, and risk of relapse.
Until the early 1990s, most research on substance abuse and dependence focused on men. That changed once U.S. agencies began requiring federally funded studies to enroll more women. Since then, investigators have learned that important gender differences exist in some types of addiction.
