Study on female alcoholics in Vermont report
A Vermont survey of 175 professionals on female alcoholism notes women face different issues than men, with alcohol use linked to drug use, loss of friends and self respect. Recovery services are less available to women, and funding favors men despite equal issue magnitude. The work was done with Rutland Regional Alcohol Council and state agencies.
