Drug and alcohol abuse impacts millions of Americans, but only a handful get the transformative treatment they need to turn their lives around. In many cases, people are deeply in denial about addiction. They don’t want to admit they have a problem because once they do, they know they’ll have to change in order to fix it. A womens detox program can give you a solid start into recovery. Instead of feeling lost, tired, sick and depressed over addiction, you can choose healing and a better life.
The Need for Detox
When you detox, your body is deprived of the addictive substances it’s come to rely on. Depending on the drug, the length of time you used and how much you typically used, your withdrawal symptoms could be mild or extremely painful.
It’s no surprise that people want to avoid this discomfort. After all, a wish to avoid discomfort is what so often leads to drug and alcohol abuse in the first place.
However, going through a mens or womens detox program is necessary for recovery. Your body must be clean of harmful substances before you’re ready for the next phase of treatment.
Benefits of a Womens Detox Program
You might be thinking of detoxing on your own if you believe that overcoming addiction is simply a matter of no longer using. However, it’s rarely that simple.
Going through a womens detox program in a qualified facility is much safer than attempting to detox at home. Because some withdrawal symptoms can be so intense — including suicidal thoughts, hallucinations, and seizures — people can hurt themselves or others when they don’t have medical supervision.
In a monitored setting, your health and safety are top priorities. In addition, the staff may offer medication-assisted detox services, which can make you more comfortable.
Should you choose a women-only environment? Although you can certainly attend coed programs, gender-separate rehabs allow you to fully focus on your recovery with no distractions. Also, you may feel more comfortable talking about sensitive topics among your peer group without the opposite sex around.
Detox Is Only One Step Toward Recovery
Once you complete a womens detox program, what comes next? Ideally, you go right into a womens rehab program.
Addiction isn’t just about abusing drugs and alcohol. It often involves underlying issues and/or trauma that people don’t want to face. Instead of coping with their pain, stress or negative emotions in other ways, they turn to substance abuse.
The work you do in rehab gets to the core of your issues. You’ll find out what contributed to your dependency, and you’ll gain better coping mechanisms to handle the bad times that everyone experiences at some point in their lives.
