Alcohol Detox

The problem with most alcohol detox programs is that they offer little in the way of substantive therapy. Detoxification is a medical procedure, first and foremost, and that means most clinics simply aren't equipped to handle the kind of individual counseling necessary for lasting change. It is for this reason that a growing number of alcoholics are finding their way into far more comprehensive residential treatment centers.

Here at Orchid Recovery Center for Women, we offer something altogether different from the standard AA approach. Although much of the work we do makes use of traditional 12-step precepts and methods, everything about Orchid is geared exclusively toward the emotional needs of women. That means you can expect intensive group meeting, compassionate care, and a pervasive emphasis on the bonds of trust so many women crave.

Why offer this kind of rarefied approach? The answer is simple. Women tend to gain confidence, strength, and wisdom from their fellow women in a way they never could from more traditional peer group meetings. Dr. Karen Dodge, an established addiction medicine specialist, has conducted considerable research to support this claim, and today much of the Orchid program is founded on her insights into the power of "relational growth."

If you want to learn, laugh, grow, and heal in the presence of other dedicated female addicts, you will not find a more professional or effective program. Please feel free to call toll free at or write if you want to learn more about the Orchid alcohol detox program today.
