Drug Addiction

Women today exhibit a far wider range of addictions than ever before. Many years ago, housewives in the 50s and 60s were almost exclusively devoted to narcotics typical of their station in life: Vicodin, opium, and prescription drugs. Today we live in an era when women become addicted to the full suite of drugs men do, including some extras like compulsive gambling and compulsive sexuality.

The truth about addiction is that your drug of choice ultimately makes little difference. Addiction itself is an emotional and spiritual disease, one which is sadly given short shrift in our national media. Particularly overlooked is the epidemic of growing drug abuse among women-a rising tide of suffering that has until recently been without a leading research center to offer compassionate care.

All that changed with the founding of Orchid recovery Center, a new kind of professional program that caters to the particular needs of female addicts. Instead of "brute strength" approaches and outdated psychological models, the Orchid approach is founded largely on the groundbreaking work of Dr. Karen Dodge. Much of her study has centered around the tremendous benefit accorded women who can commiserate with, and draw strength from, other women in a therapeutic environment.

Orchid offers precisely the resources you need to combat any drug abuse habit. With regular access to private therapists, group meetings, yoga, and more, Orchid recovery Center acts as a place of respite and healing.
