Richmond Recovers (moving to Recovery Is.Life) – Women and Substance Abuse
On today’s show we continue with Dr. Hendrée Jones’ presentation on Whole Person Treatment – Caring for Women Across the Lifespan. This presentation was recorded at the Reynolds-VCU Humphreys Fellows Annual Symposium. This year’s theme: International Perspectives on Women and Substance Abuse. Dr. Jones is a professor in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology at the School of Medicine, University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill. She is also the executive director of UNC Horizons, a comprehensive drug treatment program for pregnant and parenting women and their drug-exposed children.
International Narcotics Control Board devoted Chapter 1 of their report in 2016 to women
• The report summarized that compared to men, women:
• Are highly stigmatized
• Experience more violence
• Are less likely to receive treatment for substance use disorders
• Lack access to gender-specific treatment
• Are being incarcerated at higher rates = devastating effects on children
• While gender itself may not predict treatment outcome, there are
gender-specific factors that influence treatment outcomes in women
On today’s show, we have included modules: Peer 2 Ear with Sammy Styles and a V Word module on addiction and substance with Carol Olson.

Grief Howls
Lost my buddy Daniel Gorman last week, to his disease one way or another. He was so young. So bright and cheery.
Just bought a drumset and was starting a new metal band, I shared the latest mixes of my unreleased stuff with him.
He said I was the best guitarist he ever played with.
But really…
He was the best musician I have ever worked with myself…
Anyway, Songs for Daniel, master of the 5 string bass…
