[Vulnerability factors and care specific to women and addictions].

Like behavioral addictions, substance misuse is a complex disorder, influenced by psychological, clinical and socio-environmental determinants. The processes that lead to addiction are common to both men and women, but patterns of use, risk behaviors and their repercussions differ. Women's access to care is often delayed because they are regularly subjected to stigmatization, violence, and economic or family constraints. Care must be better adapted to their specific needs.
