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.

Marcel’s take on long-term treatment
When a family calls me about getting someone into treatment, one of the first things they ask is whether the program is co-ed. It comes up almost every time, and it is not a trivial question. Where someone does their treatment matters, and who they are doing it with matters too.
The bigger principle I always come back to is environment. One of the most important things a residential program does is put distance between the person and the environment they were using in. That means the people, the places, the situations that became tied to their using. For a lot of women, that environment includes a relationship, a living situation, or a social circle that is part of the problem. A program that puts real distance between her and all of that gives her a chance to actually work on herself without the pull of that environment interfering.
A women-only program does something similar inside the program itself. It changes the social dynamic in a way that can make it easier for some people to focus on the work. Whether that matters for a specific person depends on their history and their situation. But it is always worth asking the question, and it is one of the things I go through during every intake conversation.
