    In psychology, alienation is a condition of being separated or marginalized from other individuals or some larger segment of society. Self-efficacy is an individual's belief in their capacity to act in ways necessary to reach specific goals. This study was conducted to investigate the possible connectivity between psychological alienation and feelings of self-efficiency among young male and female adults. The study was conducted in April 2023, among 167 young people, aged 18-25 (M=22.28 ± 1.7SD). For this purpose, we used the Scale for psychological alienation and General self-efficacy. Results showed that there is a significant negative correlation between alienation and self-efficacy, meaning that the higher psychological alienation is, the lower self-efficacy is (t=-0.627; <0.001). There is a statistically significant difference between young male and female adults regarding alienation (t=-5.592; <0.001) e. g. males are reporting to be more alienated than females. Also, there is a statistically significant difference between young male and female adults regarding feeling of self-efficacy (t=4.692; <0.001) e.g. males feel less effective than females and in the scale for measuring meaninglessness (t=-2.966; 0.003) e. g. males feel more meaninglessness than females. In conclusion, psychological alienation and self-efficacy are correlated and there are gender differences regarding the two measured variables, in favor of the females.

    The aim of the study was to determine whether the treatment outcome differs for males and females in the mixed-gender methadone maintenance program. A prospective non-randomized study was performed to evaluate the efficiency of the treatment over a period of 6 months. In this study, 91 patients (60 male and 31 female) were included and the groups were compared by the variables such as relapses, frequency of relapses, type of substance used and the manner of drug use. The results showed that 16 (51.6%) female addicts had 147 relapses and 23 (38.3%) male addicts had 118 relapses, but these differences were statistically not significant. Women made a significant relapse 43.7% more than men 21.7%, with heroine alone. The injectable drug abuse dominates in both genders, i.e. 56.2% of female examinees and 69.6% of male examinees injected the drugs, but this difference was not statistically proven. Conclusion: Gender has an influence on the response to the treatment. The outcome of the treatment measured through the drug use differs in the substance used. Women use more heroine than men, who in turn use more combinations of different drugs and legal psychoactive substances during the treatment
