The aim of this work is to focus women drug use disorder in recent years, reviewing literature about and collecting clinical samples from two inpatient health care facilities and one outpatient psychiatric service. Addicted women frequently show comorbid eating disorders, emotion dysregulation and PTSD from sexual abuse experiences. Three clinical cases will be discussed in detail. Data from studies conducted among women suffering from drug addiction are increasingly published, with the authors highlighting the specific needs of this group and the difficulties that women with addiction problems encounter. The current study aimed to identify the barriers and needs of this audience, both when seeking help and during treatment.
