Drug Rehab for Women

Women's Treatment

A drug rehab for women is a gender-specific substance abuse treatment program that offers therapies created specifically to meet the treatment needs of women. This is very important as many women who need addiction treatment tend to feel uncomfortable in traditional rehabs, which were originally designed to treat the needs of male patients. As a result, many women avoid getting the help they so desperately need. Women’s drug rehabs remedy this problem by allowing the female patient to recover in a safe, friendly and supportive environment where the focus is on recovery.

The Need for Women’s Drug Rehab

Around 32 percent of substance abuse treatment facilities in the United States currently offer drug rehab programs that are exclusively designed for women.

Addiction is a very real and serious problem in the U.S. According to the latest reports from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration; nearly 5.7 percent of all American women suffer from a problem with drugs and/or alcohol.

Addiction can be a complicated and devastating disease that affects a woman’s ability to function. A drug rehab for women offers psychological therapies that allow the patient to discuss female issues in a safe and supportive environment. These counseling sessions can include individual therapy sessions as well as group sessions with other female patients. Rehab also includes family therapy with the patient, her partner, children and other family members, with sessions mediated by a licensed family therapist.

Dual Diagnosis Drug Rehab for Women

Some drug rehabs for women also treat patients who are considered a dual diagnosis, that is, patients who have a drug addiction and a co-existing mental illness or eating disorder. Many women with drug abuse problems have issues surrounding eating behaviors, weight and body image. A quality dual diagnosis rehab program will treat both problems simultaneously for an improved chance of recovery.

Testimonials

I can't believe I am even writing this letter but my sponsor urged me to. I need to tell you that if it wasn't for the Freedom Rings program I never would have stayed in treatment. The staff and other patients provided me with unconditional love which made it easier for me to come out and my parents to accept my sexuality. Special thanks to Christie.
Bradley H., 15 months clean and sober, Towson, Md.

Well I went into treatment kicking and screaming. I didn't want to be there but behind all this acting out, I was just plain scared. I just couldn't imagine a life without drugs or alcohol. Today I can't imagine going back to it.
Juan Q., Miami, Fl.

I'm not sure I can get across how grateful I am to Priscilla, my therapist. She helped me deal with a past that stole everything from me. Today my relationship with my family is great and I am accomplishing things I never thought possible. Never give up on yourself.
