At the Retreat of Atlanta, our women’s detox center provides the specialized help needed to recover from drug and alcohol addiction. We understand the unique needs women have when it comes to recovering from substance use disorders. In addition, we understand how gender-specific treatment can address them. We also provide multiple types of therapy that help provide an overall wellness program that allows women to get back on their feet and leave addiction behind.
According to researchers at the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), men and women have different patterns when it comes to substance addiction. In addition, these differences include how men and women start using drugs and alcohol, how they disclose it, their access to quality care, the probability of seeking treatment, and their reasons for relapse.
NIDA also reports several other differences related to women and addiction. These include:
These key differences to do with women and addiction make it important for a woman to choose a women’s detox center to help them address their substance use disorder.
Gender-specific detox for women provides many benefits over non-gender-specific detox programs. Among these benefits are:
The length of time detox lasts depends on several factors. These include what substances are involved, how long the addiction has existed, and the amount of substances typically consumed. Moreover, however, the individual’s physical and mental health can also factor into the timeline. Any withdrawal symptoms that occur during detox and the severity of them also influence how long women’s detox lasts. In general, detox can range from 5 days to 2 weeks.
When women visit our women’s detox center, we provide specialized care from the moment they arrive until they complete the program. First, we start with performing an evaluation to help us understand their medical and psychological needs. Knowing their history with addiction helps us plan the right detox program for you and recommend the appropriate next step in treatment.
Detox medical professionals monitor individuals for signs of withdrawal symptoms and provide any necessary mediation to help reduce them. Furthermore, they can also help women process any difficult emotional reactions that may occur as they complete the detox process. In addition, we provide personalized therapy for women that help them achieve the best results possible. Because traditional rehabs can make women feel less comfortable opening up, our clients enjoy the ability to speak up in a women-only space. Therefore, this provides particularly important in group therapy sessions.
For women who have experienced physical or sexual abuse from men in the past, a woman’s detox center can provide them with the security they need. Furthermore, this type of treatment allows women to open up more easily and process abuse with the support of other women who have been through similar experiences.
When you’re ready to reclaim your life from drugs and alcohol, you owe it to yourself to do so in a supportive, open, and compassionate environment. Fortunately, our women’s detox center in Atlanta is a safe, caring, and professional place to begin your healing.
