Addiction Treatment For Women

  • Written By: Dean Patterson
  • Medically-Reviewed By: Dr. A. Meelan

Addiction affects individuals in various ways, and women often face unique challenges when seeking recovery. Factors such as societal pressures, trauma, co-occurring mental health conditions, and caregiving responsibilities can significantly influence a woman’s approach to addiction treatment. At Ritual Recovery, we recognize these complexities and provide gender-specific pathways to support women in overcoming substance use disorders and related mental health issues.

Dual diagnosis, which refers to the simultaneous presence of a substance use disorder (SUD) and a mental health condition such as depression, anxiety, PTSD, or eating disorders, is particularly common among women. Many women may resort to substances as a coping mechanism for trauma or mental health struggles, making the recovery process more complex. Ritual Recovery offers specialized care that addresses both addiction and underlying mental health conditions, ensuring a holistic and sustainable recovery journey.

Women’s Treatment Programs in Asheville

Ritual Recovery is a co-ed facility, but we understand the significance of gender-specific treatment pathways. These pathways enable women to concentrate on their healing in a supportive and understanding environment. Our women-centered approach tackles the biological, psychological, and social factors that contribute to addiction and mental health challenges. We offer tailored programs that are specifically designed to meet the unique needs of women in recovery.

 

Individualized Treatment Plans

Every woman’s journey through addiction and mental health challenges is unique. At Ritual Recovery, our clinical team conducts a comprehensive assessment when a patient is admitted in order to develop a personalized treatment plan. This plan considers the severity of the addiction, any underlying mental health conditions, personal history, trauma, and caregiving responsibilities to ensure the most effective care possible.

Evidence-Based Therapies

Ritual Recovery offers a variety of evidence-based therapies designed to help women heal from addiction and co-occurring disorders. Some of the most effective therapeutic modalities we provide include:

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

This therapy helps women identify and change negative thought patterns that contribute to substance use.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

DBT supports emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.

Trauma-Informed Care

This approach addresses past trauma that may influence addictive behaviors.

Motivational Interviewing

This technique encourages personal motivation for lasting change.

Medication-Assisted Treatment (MAT)

MAT helps manage withdrawal symptoms and cravings when it is medically appropriate.

We offer these therapies in both individual and group settings, allowing women to explore their challenges in a supportive environment while also benefiting from interactions with peers.

Peer Support and Group Therapy

Women often excel in peer-support environments where they can connect with others who share similar experiences. Our gender-specific group therapy sessions promote connection, empathy, and support. These groups create a safe space for women to openly discuss their challenges related to addiction, mental health, relationships, and personal growth, free from stigma or judgment.

Addressing Trauma and Emotional Health

Many women who struggle with addiction have often experienced trauma, including childhood abuse, domestic violence, sexual assault, or other distressing events. Ritual Recovery offers a trauma-informed approach that helps women feel safe and supported during their healing journey. Our therapy sessions assist women in processing their traumatic experiences, developing healthy coping mechanisms, and reclaiming their self-worth and empowerment.

Specialized Treatment for PTSD and Anxiety Disorders

Women are more likely than men to experience PTSD and anxiety disorders, which can lead to substance use as a way to cope. Our specialized treatment includes evidence-based therapies such as Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and exposure therapy. These approaches help women process and heal from past traumatic experiences in a safe and structured environment.
