Description
This workshop will highlight the unique physiological, psychological, and sociological characteristics demonstrated by women with substance use disorders. Transgender populations have a higher rate of substance use disorders and require further research and integrative care. Diagnosis and treatment should focus on inherent gender differences. This presentation will review the risks for women and transgender individuals with substance use. We will also review the needs they have in treatment and recovery.
