Rehab for Women in Long Beach, CA

Gender-specific addiction treatment programs address the unique challenges facing women with substance use disorder (SUD).

The experts at New Found Life will help you heal from the effects of SUD using evidence-based and alternative holistic therapies.

Women's Recovery Center in Long Beach

Many healthcare providers and treatment programs fail to offer gender specific care. For over three decades, New Found Life has been dedicated to supporting women overcoming addiction to drugs and alcohol, offering a gender-specific residential treatment program customized to the unique challenges faced by women.

Women who complete residential treatment can transition to lower levels of care to gradually gain independence. Most clients transition from our residential treatment facility to outpatient programs, including: 

  • Intensive outpatient program (IOP)
  • Partial hospitalization program (PHP)
  • Additional outpatient programs 
  • Aftercare

Our rehab programs focus on prioritizing relapse prevention and improving overall well-being. We offer behavioral health and addiction recovery services to women in California. Most women participating in our drug and alcohol rehab program benefit from our tailored approach to client care and wide range of treatment options. 

A Safe and Supportive Environment

Our therapies are designed to specifically address the challenges related to substance use disorders in women. From the accelerated rate at which women can develop substance use disorders to the higher incidences of trauma, we recognize the distinct challenges of women who need our services. Key features of our women’s rehab include:

  • Women’s-Only Group Meetings: These sessions provide a supportive environment where women openly share experiences and support each other, free from the dynamics present in mixed-gender groups.
  • One-on-One Sessions: Personalized care is ensured through private consultations and therapy sessions with experienced female clinicians.

Research shows that women benefit from a communal, relationship-based approach to addiction recovery. That is why we have created a women’s treatment center where women can feel safe and secure during treatment. Within this setting, residents express themselves without the tensions that may exist in mixed-gender groups. Mutual peer support in group therapy is an integral part of the recovery journey for many individuals. Gender-specific groups make the space feel more welcoming and supportive. 

Emphasis on Trauma and Recovery

Many women who seek help for alcohol or drug abuse have experienced traumatic events that significantly influence their addiction. Our treatment approach includes Intensive Trauma Therapy to help women heal from traumatic experiences such as sexual assault, domestic violence, emotional abuse, and more. We utilize evidence-based methods such as cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and narrative therapy in which women can safely recount their traumatic experiences, and psychoeducation to help them understand the impact of trauma on their health.

Dual Diagnosis Treatment

We recognize the prevalence of co-occurring mental health conditions in women with substance use disorders and provide targeted treatment for the following dual diagnoses:

  • Depression: Often characterized by prolonged sadness, loss of interest in activities, and feelings of worthlessness, which can be treated through medication, psychotherapy, and support groups.
  • Anxiety: Manifesting as persistent worry, physical symptoms like restlessness or fatigue, anxiety can be treated with cognitive-behavioral therapy, medication, and holistic relaxation techniques.
  • Trauma: We focus on helping women heal from traumatic experiences that significantly impact emotional and psychological health, and sometimes behaviors.
  • Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD): This specific disorder arises from experiencing severe trauma, leading to flashbacks, avoidance behaviors, and severe anxiety. Treatments like EMDR and trauma-focused CBT are effective.
  • Bipolar Disorder: Causes extreme mood swings that include emotional highs and lows. Treatment involves mood stabilizers, psychoeducation, and psychotherapy to help maintain emotional balance.

Co-occurring disorders may impact treatment outcomes. We address all dual diagnoses using evidence-based and holistic therapies. Many women with co-occurring conditions begin residential treatment after completing detoxification. Individuals with more severe mental health disorders may benefit from intensive outpatient treatment before transitioning to aftercare. Our inpatient treatment services help women in Orange County prepare for long-term recovery. 

Evidence-Based Therapeutic Approaches

Our women’s recovery center includes a range of therapeutic interventions specifically designed for the psychological and emotional needs of women. These help prevent relapse and allow women to get to the root cause of their addiction.

  • Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT): This therapy modifies negative thoughts and behaviors, addressing challenges unique to women.
  • Parenting Classes: These classes support women in enhancing their parenting skills, which are crucial for rebuilding family relationships during and after recovery.
  • Life Skills Training: We offer training in practical skills needed for daily living, which is vital for personal independence and success post-treatment.
  • Individual and Group Counseling: Counseling sessions address specific issues that women often face, such as body image, self-esteem, and relationships, all within a supportive group setting or in individual sessions.
  • Experiential and Equine Therapies: These therapies use real-world activities and interaction with horses to help women develop trust, reduce anxiety, and improve emotional regulation.
  • Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR): This advanced therapy is particularly effective for those with trauma histories, helping to process and diminish the distress associated with traumatic memories.
  • Comprehensive Case Management Services: Our case managers coordinate all aspects of a client’s care, ensuring seamless integration of services for each individual’s recovery needs.
  • Family Therapy, Support Groups, and Programs: These groups help to repair and strengthen family relationships, providing education and support for family members of women in treatment.
  • Women’s-Only Group Activities: These sessions create a safe and comfortable environment, encouraging openness and mutual support among participants.

Our rehabilitation center provides high-quality addiction recovery services for women in Southern California experiencing drug or alcohol addiction and dependency.

Specialized Care for Mothers in Recovery

We are one of the few treatment providers that offer gender-specific care to mothers struggling with addiction. Our rehab center offers mothers a safe space to heal and build the foundation for a healthier future. The residential programs at New Found Life give mothers essential recovery resources and support. 

Nutritional Support and Education for Lasting Wellness

Individuals with a history of chronic substance abuse may not have a healthy relationship with food. For example, many people who abuse opioids experience malnutrition due to a lack of appetite and gastrointestinal issues. Our residential substance abuse treatment programs address nutritional deficiencies and other health problems by educating clients and ensuring everyone has access to balanced, nourishing meals.

Creating Healthy Relationships and Boundaries With Loved Ones

Family engagement in rehabilitation and aftercare plays a significant role in recovery for many women with SUD. We ensure you know how to set clear boundaries and develop healthy relationships with loved ones. Our Long Beach rehab for women prepares clients and their families for long-term recovery.

Continuing Support and Community Integration

We remain committed to each woman’s long-term success. By including additional levels of support and accountability, we ensure each woman experiences a smoother transition back to her home and community. Some of the resources at our rehab for women include:

  • Female Alumni Network: This robust network provides ongoing support and mentorship with those who have shared experiences.
  • 12-Step Groups: These groups offer a structured approach to recovery, emphasizing peer support and a universal set of guiding principles for overcoming addiction.
  • Sober Living Resources: We connect women with sober living homes and other resources to support a smooth transition back into daily life and help maintain long-term sobriety.

Our alcohol and drug rehab programs offer tailored treatment plans. Residential care is often the next stage in treatment for individuals who have completed a detox program. You can use the mental health services and addiction recovery resources provided by New Found Life to prepare for outpatient care.

Women-Led Mutual Support and Mentorships

Our gender-specific residential programs provide a space where women empower women to heal and grow together. Recovering from substance abuse is a lifelong practice, and developing healthy social connections can improve treatment outcomes by giving you a strong support network.

Everyone deserves access to comprehensive and personalized care. However, women in recovery often have fewer options compared to men. New Found Life strives to make our programs accessible to all women by accepting most health insurance plans. Our intake specialists are ready to help you explore your treatment options and support you on your journey to a fulfilling, substance-free future. We offer a continuum of care and tailored treatment services to ensure the best possible outcome for women seeking treatment. Our dedicated team uses gender-specific care to ensure women feel heard, valued, and understood during rehabilitation.
