This study aimed to compare differences between women and men, who completed a residential treatment program for drug abuse, in terms of social insertion. This comparison was especially focused on gender differences in perceptions on main obstacles identified by substance abusers during rehabilitation process. A non-experimental, comparative, cross-sectional design was used. A sample of 161 patients of both sexes, attended in nine inpatient units, was integrated. It was applied a Likert Scale. According to the findings, during the reintegration phase, women reported more depressive symptoms and anxiety than men, they perceived themselves to suffer greater loss of social and cognitive skills, and also expressed a major concern of being stigmatized and manifested lower self-esteem than men. These findings confirms the need to develop reintegration programs based on a gender perspective in the treatment of drug abusers.Downloads
