有酗酒问题的妇女成为越来越多的医疗服务患者。他们需要特别照顾吗？治疗方案应该如何设计？1981年，瑞典斯德哥尔摩卡罗林斯卡医院开设了专门的女性酒精成瘾妇女早期治疗卡罗林斯卡项目。该项目的目的是帮助处于酒精依赖行为早期阶段的妇女，并制定专门针对女性需求的治疗方案。为了调查这样一个专门的女性单位的价值，进行了为期2年的对照随访研究，其中包括200名妇女。先证者在仅限女性的EWA单位接受治疗，而对照组则在传统的混合性别酒精中毒治疗中心接受治疗。2年的随访研究表明，在专门的女性单位（EWA）治疗的妇女更成功的康复酒精消费和社会适应。也注意到控制措施有所改善，但程度较小。妇女事务特别股（如妇女事务局）最重要的成就之一可能是吸引妇女更早前来寻求帮助。
Women with alcoholic problems constitute an increasing number of patients in medical service. Do they need special care? How should the treatment program be designed? The specialized female Karolinska Project for Early Treatment of Women with Alcohol Addiction (EWA) unit at the Karolinska Hospital in Stockholm, Sweden, was opened in 1981. The aim of the project is to reach women in an early stage of alcohol dependence behavior and to develop treatment programs specific to the needs of females alone. In order to investigate the value of such a specialized female unit a controlled 2-year follow-up study was carried out including 200 women. The probands were treated in the female only EWA-unit, whereas the controls were placed in the care of traditional mixed-sex alcoholism treatment centers. The 2-year follow-up study showed a more successful rehabilitation regarding alcohol consumption and social adjustment for the women treated in the specialized female unit (EWA). Improvement was noted also for the controls but to a lesser extent. Probably one of the most important achievements of a specialized female unit, such as EWA, is to attract women to come for help earlier.
