Focused on the unique needs of women struggling with drug and alcohol addiction, Serenity Girls Center optimizes treatment success through inpatient rehabilitation program, outpatient recovery programs, structured transitional living, and family therapy. Our women’s only treatment program gives clients the opportunity to address gender-specific issues, build a supportive network of female friends, and express themselves more openly than they could in a co-ed environment.
Serenity Girls is a women's only treatment program
Addiction does not discriminate by gender, but there is evidence that female substance abusers face different physiological and psychological challenges than men. These include:
- Addiction progression. Women metabolize alcohol and drugs differently than men, so they become high more quickly and develop addictions sooner.
- Shame & denial. Women are caregivers by nature, so they tend to have a difficult time admitting when they need treatment. Parenting, marriage, and workplace responsibilities may also prevent them from getting help.
- The need for relationship. Having been isolated in their addiction, women are less solitary and more communal in their approach to recovery. Serenity Girls Center encourages relationship building through DBT ( dialectical behavioral therapy), CBT group therapy, Art therapy, and fellowship opportunities.
Addressing the gender-specific needs of female substance misusers, our recovery facility provides women exiting residential rehab with a safe, transitional living situation and outpatient program. Our clients work to replace addiction behaviors with healthy patterns while healing emotionally and physically and learning to love themselves again.
