Women's Only Rehab Allows For More Successful Treatment Outcomes

Men and women are different and experience addiction in different ways.  For a variety of reasons getting treated for addiction at a women's drug rehab is best for women who are suffering from chemical dependency.

Research shows that women are more likely to stay in treatment and achieve lasting sobriety if they are in a women's rehab that focuses on women's issues. The addiction experts who have created the Rose Rehab in Newport Beach agree that women in need of drug treatment respond best in the company of other women, particularly in the early stages of recovery.

One benefit of receiving treatment at this private women's rehab  in Newport Beach is that women find solace in the fellowship formed with other women who are in recovery. In the Rose's private and all-female environment, women experience a sense of community, trust, compassion, and honesty.
 
Tanya DesLoover is one of the case managers at the Rose and has been helping women address the underlying issues that fuel addiction for many years. Tanya says “Women thrive in a processing environment, where they can be heard, supported, and validated in small therapeutic groups.  Research has shown that small numbers plus women only equals maximum therapeutic benefit.”

Often, in mixed-gender treatment programs, therapy is tailored to men, while women’s unique issues, such as their role as mothers or caregivers or their past interactions with men, are overlooked or discounted. Group sessions may be dominated by confrontational discussions of male issues or issues that men and women share in common.

Women's drug rehab, on the other hand, tend to play to women’s strengths, with an emphasis on empowerment and esteem-building. They also offer a safe haven for women to concentrate on their own needs and desires rather than social approval or the welfare of others.

In many cases, women who are battling drug addiction or alcohol abuse are also victims of emotional, physical, or sexual abuse or trauma. Women feel more at ease discussing painful memories without men present, especially if they were abused by a male figure.

The Rose Rehab in Newport Beach (http://www.roserehab.com) was created by the Sober Living by the Sea network of treatment centers (http://www.soberliving.com).  Sober Living by the Sea has been treating alcoholism, drug addiction, and eating disorders in both men and women for almost 25 years in Southern California and several years ago the staff became aware of the need for an exclusive, private, and extremely supportive treatment program for women.  The Rose of Newport Beach was created and provides the most effective clinical care available for women and all treatment occurs in the beachfront facility which is located right on the sand of Newport Beach, CA.
