What Is Women’s Addiction Treatment?
Addiction treatment services are just what they sound like: recovery programs for women. Often, single-gendered addiction treatment centers can provide clients the comfort and safety they need to begin treatment without the stigmas, pressures, and triggers of non-gendered programs. Many treatment centers offer inpatient and outpatient options to help women with step-down treatment, flexibility, and the right amount of care for their recovery needs.
What to Expect from Women’s Addiction Treatment Centers
There are two types of recovery programs for women: residential and outpatient. Residential or inpatient house women for several weeks, often during initial detox and recovery. These centers can provide a safe space for women to take time away from work, home, school, and various relationships in their life. For some, it can afford the opportunity to leave an unsafe home environment or relationship. Residential treatment centers provide daily individual and group therapy, community meals, and other activities to help women recover together. Some programs include art therapy, music therapy, and dance as supplements to cognitive behavioral and dialectal behavioral therapies.
Outpatient treatment provides the same therapies with a more flexible treatment schedule. They exist at several government-regulated levels, the most restricted being PHP or partial hospitalization. In these programs, women gather for a set number of hours at the clinic each day and return home at night to sleep. Because women return home after treatment, it’s essential to have a safe, drug-free home, a high level of independence, and a support system at home. Many women transition from residential to outpatient care to continue treatment while reintegrating into home life.
Both types of women’s addiction treatment can provide the following:
- Solidarity among other women
- Safe, inclusive spaces for treatment and healing
- Group therapy with others who understand your life experience
- Fewer trauma triggers during treatment
- Community
Women’s treatment programs allow clients to reframe addiction stories, mirror a positive change in each other’s recovery, and build lasting communities with other sober women.
