Abstract
This article offers a brief overview of the treatment history of women's addictions. It then provides a new model for treating women (the Helping Women Recover program) that incorporates three theories: theory of addiction; theory of women's psychological development; theory of trauma. The structure and content of this gender-responsive treatment program is also discussed with a focus on four areas: self, relationship, sexuality, and spirituality. Helping Women Recover is designed to be used in both community-based and criminal justice-based programs for women.
