What Is a Women’s Detox Center?

A women’s detox center is a specialized treatment facility that focuses on providing detox services tailored to the needs of women struggling with substance abuse.

It offers a safe and supportive environment where women can receive comprehensive medical care, therapy, and medication management to effectively manage withdrawal symptoms and begin their recovery journey.

Our recovery center recognizes the importance of gender-specific care and aims to create a space where women can heal and receive treatment that addresses their physical, emotional, and psychological well-being.

Why Do Women Seek a Women’s Detox Program?

Women face unique risks and challenges during the detox process, and they have specific physiological and psychological needs.

Women’s hormone levels can impact the detox process, affecting withdrawal symptoms, mood swings, and emotional well-being.
Pregnant women require specialized care during detox to ensure the safety of both the mother and the unborn child. The detox process must be carefully managed to minimize risks and provide appropriate medical support.
Women may have a higher likelihood of experiencing trauma, including physical, emotional, or sexual abuse. Detox can trigger traumatic memories or emotional distress, requiring trauma-informed care and additional support.
Women have higher rates of co-occurring mental health issues, such as depression, anxiety, or eating disorders. These conditions can complicate women’s addiction and the detox process and require integrated treatment approaches.
Women can face social pressures and expectations that contribute to substance abuse, such as societal roles, body image issues, or cultural norms. Addressing these factors in detox is crucial for long-term recovery.

At Ardu, we provide gender-specific care that recognizes and addresses these risks, allowing a safe and supportive environment for women throughout the detox process.

Women’s Detox Services We Offer

Whether you need help detoxing from alcohol, drugs, or both, we are here to help you through your withdrawal symptoms with compassion and expertise. We offer medically assisted detox treatment as well as holistic therapy, such as nutritional therapy and experiential therapy.

Alcohol Detox

Alcohol detox for women is the first step towards reclaiming a life free from alcohol dependence. Our women’s alcohol detox program provides a compassionate and understanding environment where women can safely detoxify from alcohol.

With a specialized approach that considers the unique physiological and emotional factors that women may experience during detox, we offer comprehensive care, including medical supervision, emotional support, holistic detox services, and psychotherapy.

Our goal is to empower women to break free from alcohol addiction and embark on a journey of lasting recovery and renewed well-being.

Drug Detox

Drug detox is a crucial step towards recovery, providing a safe and supportive environment for women to cleanse their bodies from harmful substances. At our women’s drug detox program, we understand the challenges faced by women in addiction and tailor our approach to address their specific needs.

With compassionate care, medically supervised withdrawal management, and a focus on promoting physical and emotional well-being, we guide women through the detox process and set the foundation for their long-term recovery journey. Drug detox services we offer include:

Pregnancy and Detox

When pregnant women are struggling with substance use disorders, they need specialized care from medical professionals. Women’s recovery center programs must take into account the physical changes that happen during pregnancy as well as the possible risks to both the mother and the growing baby.

Here are some substance-specific issues to be aware of for pregnant women looking into the detox process. These recommendations are taken from the SAMHSA Treatment Improvement Protocol.

1. Alcohol: detox from alcohol during pregnancy should be medically supervised due to the risk of severe withdrawal symptoms and potential harm to the fetus. The use of medications, such as benzodiazepines, may be required to manage withdrawal symptoms; however, the risks and benefits must be carefully weighed.
2. Opioids: pregnant women should not undergo detox from opioids due to the risks of miscarriage, preterm labor, and fetal distress. Instead, they should be placed on a stable methadone maintenance program, with doses individually determined and potentially increased as the pregnancy progresses.
3. Benzodiazepines: detox from benzodiazepines should involve a slow taper to avoid fetal withdrawal or other adverse consequences. The safest time for detoxification is likely during the second trimester.
4. Stimulants: detox from stimulants, such as cocaine, involves the same principles for pregnant and nonpregnant women. As there is no specific pharmacotherapy for tapering stimulant use, any medications for managing withdrawal complications should be discussed with the patient.
5. Solvents: pregnant women with a history of solvent abuse should have their fetal development carefully evaluated and monitored, as exposure can lead to a range of symptoms similar to Fetal Alcohol Syndrome.
6. Nicotine: pregnant women should be educated about the risks of smoking during pregnancy and ideally prevented from smoking. If behavioral interventions fail, nicotine replacement therapy (NRT) may be used after discussing the potential risks and benefits with the patient.
7. Marijuana, anabolic steroids, and club drugs: detox from these drugs follows the same principles for pregnant and nonpregnant women. Anabolic steroid use during pregnancy is rare but can be catastrophic; a detailed ultrasound examination is recommended if use is detected. Some club drugs, such as ecstasy, may increase the risk of congenital malformations in neonates.

Other Services We Offer to Women

In addition to women’s detox services, we also offer a women’s rehab program. You can get treatment for alcohol and drug addiction, as well as dual diagnosis treatment, through our individual therapy programs such as dialectical behavior therapy, family therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy, or our group therapy programs.

Alcohol Addiction Treatment

According to a 2019 overview of alcohol abuse in women, “treatment in specialized, women-only settings or treatments that target women-specific issues may improve outcomes for women with alcohol use disorder.“

Our women’s alcohol rehab center is focused on female-specific alcohol abuse patterns and treatments that are proven to help women fight alcoholism. Our holistic approach combines medical assistance, counseling,and group support to provide a well-rounded and effective treatment experience. Read our alcohol rehab page to learn more.

Drug Addiction Treatment

NIDA cites that “women often use drugs differently, respond to drugs differently, and can have unique obstacles to effective treatment.” Women’s drug rehabs should have experienced personnel who are acquainted with these obstacles.

At our drug addiction treatment center for women, we offer a wide range of interventions and therapies to help you break free from addiction. The goal of our drug rehab for women is to empower you to overcome cravings and address the underlying issues of your addiction.

We offer the following drug addiction treatment programs:

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

Managing mental health issues and addiction can be challenging for women, and they often don’t get proper support for this challenge. According to a recent study, “women with dual disorders report lower levels of social support than women with substance dependence alone.”

Personnel at our dual diagnosis treatment center can help you tackle your co-occurring disorder in addition to your addiction. We combine addiction therapy with trauma therapy and a behavioral health therapy program to address the underlying causes of your addiction. Here are some of the dual diagnosis treatment services we offer:

Anxiety treatment
PTSD treatment
Bipolar disorder treatment
Depression treatment
Eating disorder treatment
