SAMMENDRAG
Denne undersøkelsen fokuserer på kjønnsforskjeller blant mannlige og kvinnelige misbrukere med hensyn
til sosiodemografi, behandlingshistorie og rusmiddelmisbruk. 149 klienter (51 kvinner) ble rekruttert fra en
behandlingsinstitusjon. Flere kvinner enn menn er uten arbeid, og lever på ulike former for sosial støtte.
Relativt sett få kvinner har mottatt behandling for sitt rusproblem tidligere, inkludert avrusning. De har
kortere misbrukskarrierer før de kommer til behandling, og drikker mindre alkohol enn menn. Imidlertid er
flere av dem blandingsmisbrukere, hyppigst kombineres alkohol og benzodiazepiner.

NGLISH SUMMARY
The present study focuses on gender differences regarding sociodemography, treatment history, and
alcohol and drug use among male and female abusers. One hundred and forty-nine subjects (51 women)
were recruited from a clinical setting. More women than men are unemployed and living on different forms
of social benefits. Relatively few women have been in treatment earlier, including detoxification units.
They have shorter abuse careers before entering treatment, and consume less alcohol than men. More
women are multiple substance abusers, most frequently combining alcohol and benzodiazepines.
