Cognitive presumptions in women who are drug addicts Review

Masudha Girkani

This abstract delves into the cognitive presumptions observed in women grappling with substance addiction,
shedding light on the intricate interplay between cognition and addiction. Understanding the cognitive dimensions
of drug addiction in women is imperative for developing targeted interventions and support systems. The abstract
reviews existing literature, examining how cognitive processes, including perception, decision-making, and selfperception,
are influenced by drug addiction in the context of the female experience. It explores the potential
implications for treatment strategies and emphasizes the importance of addressing cognitive aspects to enhance the
effectiveness of rehabilitation programs for women struggling with substance use disorders. As society grapples with
the complexities of addiction, recognizing and addressing cognitive presumptions in this demographic is a crucial
step toward fostering comprehensive and gender-sensitive approaches to addiction recovery.
