When choosing a treatment program to support your recovery from drug or alcohol addiction, you must find one that gives you what you need. To participate in the process, you need to feel welcome and safe. You should feel assured that you would not be judged or shamed. Women’s recovery can often be supported best in a program tailored to the needs of women. That is one of the reasons that women’s addiction treatment programs are growing in popularity. In these types of programs, the staff is carefully selected and trained to support women in their journey towards sobriety.

Why Choose a Women’s Treatment Center?
There are many benefits to choosing an addiction treatment center that only serves women. These programs support women in their recovery from addiction by ensuring physical and emotional safety. The assurance of safety is vital for every person, but especially for women who have suffered abuse or trauma or are pregnant. Women also need individualized treatment programs that meet their unique needs. Staff who are specially trained to work with women will be better prepared to meet these needs and connect with each woman in their care. Other benefits are:
- A calm, nurturing environment
- Supportive community
- Multifaceted therapy options
- Acceptance and support of sexual orientations
You can find the healing you need at our women’s recovery center.
What is Different About Women’s Recovery?
Women’s recovery can often differ from men’s. While addiction affects men and women, it can have profound differences and present different challenges:
- Addiction can often occur more quickly because women metabolize drugs and alcohol more rapidly than men do.
- Our culture conditions women to push their needs aside to take care of others. As a result, women are more likely to experience shame or denial when faced with addiction and may need additional, specialized support to overcome their addiction.
- Women often feel safe when surrounded by a supportive community.
In most cases, women’s treatment centers offer a supportive environment that considers all of these needs.
Common Factors in Women’s Substance Abuse
Every woman is different, so women’s treatment centers offer a wide variety of therapeutic treatment options. Some common issues can lead to drug and alcohol addiction that mainly affect women. These include:
- Trauma
- Post-traumatic stress disorder
- low self-esteem
- Abuse
- Loss
- Issues with parenting
- Phobias
- Depression and anxiety
Women’s recovery is often a complex issue because women often use drugs or alcohol to help them accomplish everything they need to do and to meet others’ needs. As a result, a compassionate, expert therapeutic team is essential for women’s recovery.
Women are more likely to have concerns about children during their recovery. They may be afraid of losing their children or may not have someone to care for them while they take care of themselves. They may worry about their finances, as well.
