Drug Rehab for Women

What makes women's drug rehab programs different?

It's about being comfortable. Drug rehab only works if the client is at ease and can open up emotionally to both counselors and fellow addicts (during group therapy sessions). When you are surrounded by other women battling addiction - and counselors who specialize in treating women - it becomes much easier to relax. Once relaxed, you can start to heal.

What types of services are offered at a women's drug rehab?

Women's drug rehab offers all of the same services and amenities you'll find at a traditional treatment facility - plus additional attention to problems that affect women more frequently, like eating disorders. At a women's rehab you'll find:

• Detox treatment with proper medical supervision
• Drug rehab staff and counselors with extensive addiction training
• Mental health/dual diagnosis treatment programs
• Holistic drug treatment plans that restore mind, body and soul
• Instruction on how to stay clean after rehab, such as tips for relapse prevention

Do women experience addiction differently than men?

Without a doubt. One reason why women's rehab programs were created is that clients at traditional rehab facilities tended to be about 60 percent male. This sometimes led to women's issues not getting enough attention. Those issues include:

• Women are more likely to have developed their addiction as a way of coping with trauma or emotional pain. Domestic violence may be an issue for some female addicts.
• Women, biologically, are affected differently by substance abuse. A women's rehab will take note of this different body composition and hormonal balance when devising a treatment plan.
• Women experience a range of social and cultural pressures that men do not. To conquer their history of drug abuse, women in recovery must learn to handle these social pressures in healthier ways. 
• Women have different preferences when it comes to building décor and design. An effective drug rehab must have a welcoming atmosphere - and many women's drug rehabs feature room styles and colors preferred by women.

Remember, a better life is waiting, at a facility created with women in mind

Addiction affects every part of a woman's life - from her career aspirations to her ability to socialize with friends to even the simple act of grocery shopping. Don't let your life - or the life of your mother, sister, or daughter - be dragged down by substance abuse.

One phone call to Treatment Solutions Network can open up a world of happiness and peace that - at this moment - might not seem possible. But it IS possible, and plenty of other women have gone from the depths of despair to positive, productive lives.

When a woman successfully enters recovery, all of those around her - friends, family - benefit too. Newark, New Jersey Mayor Cory Booker talked about this phenomenon when cutting the ribbon on a new women's treatment center in his city.

"If you support women, you can transform a village," Booker said. "When a woman rises up, she lifts all of us up."
