Specialized Treatment for Women

There are a number of notable differences that can be found between men and women when it comes to the development of a substance use disorder and recovery. As an example, women tend to use substances in a different manner than women. Women tend to use smaller amounts of certain drugs for a shorter period of time before developing a substance use disorder. Additionally, in recovery, women are more likely to experience cravings which can contribute to an increased risk of relapsing. 

 

There is no denying that there are differences between men and women when it comes to substance use disorders. So, it makes sense that men and women would have different needs when it comes to addiction treatment programs. There are a number of commonalities which is why men’s and women’s specialized treatment options are used in addition to traditional treatment programs.

Women Addiction Statistics

Approximately 4.6 million women, ages 18 and older, in the United States were living with a dual diagnosis in 2018. When we look at women who were struggling with a substance use disorder in the same time frame, research showed that:

 

  • 2 out of every five women were abusing illicit drugs
  • 3 out of every four women were abusing alcohol
  • 1 in every eight women was struggling with both illicit drugs and alcohol

One of the more notable changes that was observed from 2018 to 2019 was the rise in marijuana use among women. Other commonly used illicit drugs include psychotherapeutic drugs, cocaine, hallucinogens, inhalants, methamphetamine, and heroin.  

 

Marina Harbor Detox is a rehab for women that provides dual-diagnosis treatment for individuals who are living with additional mental health concerns. This includes depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, trauma-related concerns, and borderline personality disorder.

How Does Substance Abuse Impact Women Differently?

Biological differences between men and women impact some of the differences between the way that substance use disorders impact men and women. As an example, women tend to have a higher fat content in their body, which we know plays a role in how much alcohol women need to feel its effects. This number tends to be smaller than the number of drinks men can consume to experience the same effects.

 

Women who misuse and abuse drugs and alcohol are at risk of experiencing fertility concerns. Additionally, women are at a higher risk of developing cardiovascular concerns compared to men. 

 

When we look at the role that social stigma has, it is important to note that women who have children may be in a caretaking role within their homes. Women in these roles may feel unable to take time to get help and worry about the way that their struggle will be perceived by others. 

 

As noted above, a barrier for women who find themselves in a caretaking role is finding alternative options for managing their responsibilities. This can be caring for a parent, sibling, or child. This can make it challenging for women to have the time needed to step away and engage in addiction treatment programs. 

 

Other barriers that are known to impact a woman’s participation in an addiction treatment program are access to quality care, denial, prior unsuccessful treatment episodes, and the cost of addiction treatment.

What Are the Benefits of a Women's Rehab Program?

There are several benefits that women can experience from a specialized treatment episode. Specialized treatment programs can use group therapy, individual therapy, and educational sessions that can touch on topics or concerns that may not be addressed in other areas of a treatment program. 

 

Another benefit is that women would be in these treatment programs with other women. For some, there may be some challenges and experiences that women are uncomfortable talking about in front of men. If these challenges and experiences played a role in the progression of a woman’s addiction or could impact her recovery, it is important that they receive the time and attention needed to prepare the woman for her recovery. 

 

Women’s treatment programs can also provide women with the opportunity to feel validated and supported for some of their experiences that men are unable to relate to. This also provides women with the opportunity to help other women, which can be an empowering experience to take part in.
