Women’s Program FAQ
The underlying factors that are responsible for addiction can be different for women than they are for men because society’s expectations for women can be different than they are for men. For instance society does not expect men to bear children but this can be a big source of stress for some women. Women experience a great deal of sexual trauma and abuse so it is important for them to have a safe secure treatment center where they can relax and feel safe and cared for.
NIDA states that “research has shown that women use drugs differently, respond to drugs differently, and can have unique obstacles to effective treatment as simple as not being able to find child care or being prescribed treatment that has never been adequately tested on women.” They also report that women may be more susceptible to craving and relapse.

The staff is made up entirely of women most of whom are in recovery from addiction. So they are better able to relate to the female clients because they have walked a similar path and been faced with the same stressors that women are presented with in life. Additionally the programming is tailored to women’s issues, common trauma amongst women and the needs of women. Our clinical director is trained in trauma healing modalities such as EMDR and other types of trauma healing modalities that are implemented when appropriate for each client. We provide an individualized approach to healing.
