What Is a Women’s Rehab Program?
Men and women are affected by addiction differently. For this reason, gender-specific treatment can be highly beneficial to treat each gender’s unique needs. In a women’s rehab, you will receive treatment alongside other women who are going through similar experiences. Treatment can come in many forms, depending on the severity of the addiction. A customized treatment plan will be designed to treat each person in a very personalized way. Both outpatient and residential treatment options are available for women.
Residential Treatment
A fully immersed residential treatment program is most typical for a women’s rehab program. It has many advantages, including 24/7 care for severe addictions, in addition to a safe, women-only environment. This home-like experience offers a variety of therapies and can last anywhere from 1 to 3 months before transitioning to sober living or directly home.
Outpatient Treatment
Outpatient treatment programs come in the form of partial hospitalization programs (PHP) and intensive outpatient programs (IOP). They provide a more flexible option versus residential care. If commitments like family, work, or school prevent inpatient treatment from being an option, then outpatient is a smart choice. Those with less severe addictions generally partake in outpatient programs.
Women’s Rehab Program Benefits
Having a space where you feel safe when going through treatment for a substance use disorder can be the difference between relapse and a successful recovery. Relationships with the opposite sex are one of the key triggers of addiction. Removing men from the treatment experience allows women to focus on getting better without this unnecessary trigger. Therapies will focus on healthy relationships and coping mechanisms to deal with toxic relationships.
Benefits of a women’s rehab program include:
- A safe environment free of the potential triggers from the opposite sex
- Therapies where women are supported by other women
- Less distraction
- Peer-to-peer understanding
- A customized treatment plan designed specifically for women
- A variety of therapeutic modalities to to choose from
After completing a residential women’s rehab, clients also have the option of continuing care in a sober living home. This provides newly sober people with an easier transition from treatment back to their everyday lives. Navigating this transition requires support and confidence. Living among peers going through the same challenges who can lift each other up is a great advantage at this stage of the recovery process. Sober living can also be gender-specific to further support women in their recovery.
