Women & Addiction
Substance addiction affects men and women differently. For women, addiction can result from stress, poor self-esteem, a co-occurring mental health disorder, or a variety of other reasons. In a gender-specific rehab, women have the support they need to begin their journey toward sobriety. Without a rehab program, those who suffer from a substance addiction could experience:
- Failing performances at work or school
- Straining relationships with family and friends
- Worsening mental health problems
- Complications during pregnancy
