Such additional services included relapse prevention groups (91% vs. 74%), aftercare counseling (84% vs. 78%), and family counseling (81% vs. 74%).

  • Facilities providing special programs or groups for women were also more likely to offer programs for other types of clients than facilities that did not provide women programs or services.
