Frequently Asked Questions
Women account for roughly one-third of people with a substance use disorder in Canada but only about one-fifth of those in treatment, and the gap isn’t explained by lower need. The barriers are specific and well-documented: fear that disclosing substance use will trigger a child custody investigation, financial dependence on a partner who also uses, disproportionate stigma attached to women, especially mothers, who struggle with addiction, and previous negative experiences with health care systems that felt judgmental rather than supportive. For many women, treatment that doesn't address these realities alongside the addiction itself simply isn't treatment they can access or stay in.
For most people, mixed-gender treatment works well. The research doesn’t show a universal advantage for gender-specific programmes across the board. Where it does make a measurable difference is for specific groups: women with trauma histories or histories of interpersonal violence, women whose childcare responsibilities make mixed programmes inaccessible, and men whose ingrained beliefs about self-sufficiency make emotional openness in a mixed setting genuinely harder. For those people, the gender of the programme isn’t a preference; it’s often what determines whether they engage with treatment at all.
