Addiction Treatment for Women

Our therapies are specifically designed to target issues specific to women. Each gender faces different challenges in addiction and recovery. Women are more likely to develop a substance use disorder at a faster rate than their male counterparts (“telescoping”). They also have a difficult time obtaining treatment and may deal with trauma at higher rates than men. Finally, research shows that women benefit from a communal, relationship-based approach to addiction recovery.

At New Found Life, we have created an environment where women can feel safe and secure during treatment. The cornerstones of this are women’s-only group meetings and one-on-one time with female staff members and clinicians. Within these settings, residents express themselves without the tensions that may exist in mixed-gender groups.

At our Long Beach rehab center for women, we provide gender-specific programming, such as…

• Cognitive-behavioral therapy
• Parenting classes
• Life skills training
• Intensive trauma therapy
• Individual and group counseling
• Experiential and equine therapies
• Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing
• Case management services
• Family program
• Dual diagnosis (treatment for co-occurring disorders)
• Therapeutic focus on women’s issues
• Family support groups

New Found Life also has a strong female alumni support network. We are very focused on connecting women with their peers in 12-Step groups and Alumni Sober Support after treatment has concluded. This added level of support and accountability ensures that each resident enjoys a smooth transition back to her home and community.
