Top Women's Drug Alcohol Trauma Rehab Treatment Centers
"Studies within the addiction treatment and recovery field, continue to support the fact that women accelerate the recovery process by attending and engaging in gender specific alcohol, drug abuse, relationship addiction, love addiction and trauma recovery programs. Without the added distraction of "men" for heterosexual women, they are free to focus all of their attention on their recovery. Additionally, when women are not in the company of men, they will freely share and discuss issues they otherwise would not.

Additional Recovery Information For Women:
ALCOHOL & WOMEN
Alcohol affects women differently than men. Alcohol Affects Women Differently than Men. Every woman is different. No amount of drinking is 100 percent safe, 100 percent of the time, for every individual woman.—National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
WOMEN & INTOXICATION
Alcohol affects women differently than men due to their body makeup and chemistry: A woman’s body has more fat and less water than a man’s. When a woman drinks,
the alcohol is less diluted. It becomes more highly concentrated in her blood.
HEALTH RISKS AMONG WOMEN WHO DRINK
Women who drink heavily face greater health risks than men who drink heavily. They are more prone to liver disease, heart damage, and brain damage. Studies show that women with alcoholism are up to twice as likely as men to die from alcohol-related causes such as suicide, accidents, and illnesses. Alcohol can cause other problems for women. Chronic heavy drinking can lead to menstrual problems, infertility, and early menopause. Drinking during adolescence can interfere with puberty, growth, and bone health.
Heavy drinking can make a woman more vulnerable to violence, including sexual assault.1 Women who drink are also more likely to have unprotected sex. Download PDF
WOMEN & TRUAMA
In order to examine the association between the experience of violent events, trauma, and post-traumatic stress disorder among women drug users, 105 women in treatment for addictive disorders were interviewed. One hundred four of the study participants reported trauma in 1 or more of 14 categories of traumatic events, 59% of whom reported symptoms consistent with a diagnosis of posttraumatic stress disorder. Among those with PTSD, 97% reported one or more violent traumas as compared with 73% of those without PTSD.
The likelihood of PTSD was strongly associated with the number of violent traumas reported by a woman. Women in recovery from drug addiction are likely to have a history of violent trauma and are at high risk for post-traumatic stress disorder. Screening for PTSD among women with an addictive disorder should become part of the diagnostic and treatment routine.
