Women’s Residential Rehab Objectives

Women's Residential Rehab

Aftercare will keep you on track after completing rehab.

A good majority of women enter the rehab process with range of other problems, such relationship conflicts, financial difficulties and deep-set emotional issues. In many respects, these conditions greatly contribute to a woman’s choice to engage in destructive drug-using behavior.

According to Michigan State University, during the course of a developing addiction, the effects of drugs (or alcohol) warp the brain’s processes, changing the way a woman thinks, her sense of logic and ultimately her choices and behaviors from day to day. Women’s residential rehab starts at square one in terms of helping you work through the underlying issues that drive drug-using behavior while helping you develop a drug-free mindset.

The Importance of Continuing Care

For many, the most long-lasting effects of addiction show up in a person’s psychological makeup in terms of her sense of right and wrong, identity, motivations and priorities. While a 30- or 60-day women’s rehab program can go a long way towards helping you develop a solid foundation in recovery, addiction’s aftereffects can linger long after a treatment program stay, according to the Substance Abuse & Mental Health Services Administration.

In the absence of continuing treatment care, daily stressors and pressures coupled with repeated temptations to use drugs can soon wear down a person’s resolve. In this respect, continuing care helps you stay engaged in the recovery process while providing ongoing support and guidance.

Types of Continuing Care

Continuing care (also known as aftercare) can take any number of forms depending on what types of supports are most needed to help you maintain continued abstinence from drug use. As a general rule, the more severe the addiction problem the more intensive continuing care treatment should be.

After completing women’s residential rehab, continuing care options take the following forms:

  • Regular attendance and participation at 12 Step support group meetings
  • Weekly or bi-weekly therapy sessions
  • Outpatient treatment
  • Sober living programs
  • Long-term residential care

Fortunately, women’s residential rehab programs include aftercare planning as part of their overall treatment services and will provide you with recommendations and referrals for continuing treatment care.

Considerations

As intensive and time-consuming as residential rehab may be, breaking the mental cycle of addiction and its behaviors is essential to a successful recovery process. Likewise, ensuring you have the needed supports in place in the aftermath is just as important.
