Holistic Addiction Recovery - Specifically Designed For Women
har·mo·ny: a state of peaceful coexistence and balance, characterized by the absence of conflict, assuming unity and cohesion among individuals or elements.
Harmony programming encompasses a sense of equilibrium, cooperation, and mutual respect. We foster a harmonious relationship between all the different aspects within the women that we serve; our approach treats the whole woman, not just her addiction. Our program is both holistic and OHMAS certified with 12-Step recovery embedded into our sober living and IOP offerings. This not only helps women stay sober now, it ensures that they have a solid community and network of sober support after they leave our care.
Women Need Specialized Care
The needs of women in recovery are different from men, but often providers use the same approach for all. Research has shown that women often use drugs differently, respond to drugs differently, and their path to recovery is different. We recognize that women face unique treatment obstacles, and our services are exclusively tailored to meet the specific needs of women.
When women enter substance abuse treatment, they often present with more medical, behavioral, psychological, and social issues, despite using substances less and for a shorter duration. A high percentage of treatment-seeking women (65-85%) have histories of physical or sexual abuse, often exhibiting trauma-related symptoms and PTSD. The majority of women seeking support in substance use disorder recovery have children and face the difficulty of finding child care or fighting for custody. Comprehensive and effective treatment for women helps to address all aspects of a woman and her recovery: trauma, ongoing familial responsibilities, and the higher prevalence of co-occurring mental health disorders, additional stigma, lower income/less job opportunities, and intimate partner violence. These differences make the need for specialized, integrated, and holistic approaches essential to ensure that women receive all the support they need to create a life in harmony with their recovery and lasting sobriety.
