Gender-Specific Addiction Treatment for Women

DISCOVER WHY GENDER-SPECIFIC TREATMENT 

Substance Abuse in Women

The need for women’s addiction treatment options in New Jersey and other parts of the world is partially based on the ways that substances and substance abuse can affect women differently. Understanding the ways substances and substance abuse impact women allows us to treat these disparities. It also allows women to understand themselves and start learning what works for them, their lives, and their bodies in treatment. According to drug facts from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), here is some of what we know about substance abuse in women based on research:

  • Women often use substances differently than men. Most notably, women may use smaller amounts of certain drugs (or use drugs over a shorter time period) before they get addicted.
  • Women may respond to substances differently. For example, women might face increased drug cravings and can be more likely to relapse after addiction treatment. 
  • Women who have experienced domestic violence are at increased risk of substance use; women are also more likely than men to face domestic violence.
  • Women may be more likely to go to the emergency room due to substance use or die from an overdose and other effects of certain substances.
  • Women may experience more physical effects on their heart and blood vessels as a result of drug use.
  • Women may experience different brain changes from drug use when compared to men.
  • Women may be more sensitive to the effects of some drugs.

It is also worth noting that women face some mental health concerns and adverse life experiences disproportionately. For example, postpartum depression, premenstrual dysphoric disorder (PMDD), anxiety, eating disorders, and post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) are common in women. Similarly, women may experience multiple types of trauma at higher rates, which leads to an increased risk of addiction.

THE PROS OF ARTISTIC THERAPY

How Gender-Specific Care Makes a Difference

Prevail Recovery Center offers programs like our women’s addiction treatment options in New Jersey for a reason. We know that gender-specific care can make a difference in a person’s life and may even lead to greater chances of recovery. In many cases, this is due not only to the understanding we have of concerns that affect women disproportionately but also because women’s addiction treatment options in New Jersey can make women feel more comfortable in treatment. 

Features that set our women’s addiction treatment options in New Jersey apart include but aren’t limited to the following:

  • Women may feel more comfortable opening up and sharing their experiences with addiction and mental health in a room with other women.
  • Working through co-occurring concerns, like trauma, can be made more possible by gender-specific treatment in some cases due to increased awareness.
  • We emphasize relapse prevention plans, which can decrease the likelihood of relapse. It is also important to us that substance abuse and relapse are de-stigmatized so that women and other individuals can continue care if needed at any time. 

Prevail Recovery Center has supportive housing options for clients who need a drug and alcohol-free living space during or after treatment. We also use evidence-based treatments and have dual diagnosis care available for clients who live with a substance use disorder and one or more co-occurring mental health concerns, like depression, PTSD, or anxiety.
