The use of psychoactive substances is considered to be a typical self-destructive behaviour with addiction itself regarded as one of the self-destructiveness forms. The aim of this work was to explore the gender differentiation of the indirect self-destructiveness syndrome (and its particular categories) in drug addicted individuals treated in drug addiction treatment centres. 172 drug addicted individuals (116 men and 56 women, M age=23,5), ranged from 19 to 28years, was recruited. In order to examine indirect self-destructiveness and its manifestations, the Polish version of the Chronic Self-Destructiveness Scale by Kelley (CS-DS) was administered. The statistical processing of scores used the Mann-Whitney U significance test. Women treated for drug addiction achieved significantly higher scores on indirect self-destructiveness: general score (p=0.001), subscales of Transgression and Risk (p=0.001), Personal and Social Neglects (p=0.02), and Lack of Planfulness (p<0.001). They scored lower on Poor Health Maintenance (p<0.002) and Helplessness (p<0.001). There is a need for specific, gender-adjusted manners of intervention and treatment in addicted women. Optimistically, after an addiction treatment, women cope and feel better psychologically and socially. They also care more about their health.
