Highlights:

In 1998, there were 23 men admitted to treatment for every 10 women.

Women were more likely than men to be in treatment for "hard" drugs (e.g., heroin and cocaine) and less likely to be in treatment for alcohol abuse or marijuana use.

Women entered the treatment system through different avenues than did men.
