[Women and alcohol, the addictologist's point of view and treatment].

Women have difficulty seeking help for alcohol-related problems. Shame and guilt are often present, which is why the caregiver must succeed in establishing a climate of trust so that things can be said, in order to best assess the impact of consumption and find alternatives. Treatment is often multidisciplinary. The nurse's role is essential, not only to identify drug use, but also to provide a link between the various players involved.
