Women and Alcohol Abuse—Factors Involved in Successful Interventions

Pages 601-611 | Published online: 03 Jul 2009
 

Abstract

This paper examines factors involved in successful interventions that led 18 alcoholic women to seek treatment. Literature was lacking concerning intervention with women, though there was one general source on intervention. A hypothesis on the benefit of families was contradicted. In the research, families were usually nonexistent or a barrier to recovery. Findings indicated that successful interventions ranged from a choice of treatment versus jail to seeking help due to internal feelings.
