Finding compassionate drug rehab for women sounds easier than it is, particularly in this age of multiplying options. Although a number of programs offer group therapy meetings and plenty of communal work, it isn't unusual for woman addicts to find themselves lost amid male-dominated approaches. It was for this reason that the Orchid Recovery Center was first conceived.
What do we do that's different from other recovery programs? The simple answer is that Orchid takes pains to create communities of trust among its female clients. Instead of treating group therapy as a necessary evil, we forge lasting bonds through narrative therapy, in-depth storytelling and true relational growth. The result is a suite of therapies that harness and integrate the uncommon power of women working in concert.
Much of the program's design is based on the groundbreaking work of Dr. Karen Dodge, the therapist who first cracked the code of how addiction works in women. Although the dynamics aren't entirely dissimilar from those of men, female addictions tend to gain power in greater proportion from unique psychosocial issues. Far more women, for instance, suffer from poor self-concept and post traumatic stress-major breeding grounds for abusive behaviors like these.
One of the keys to the Orchid philosophy is that all such issues are given far greater dedication and attention than you can find elsewhere. With up to 36 hours of therapy a week and plenty of certified therapists on staff, Orchid offers each woman an unusual combination of communal strength and individual care. A typical day here might begin with yoga, then move on to trauma group and relapse prevention before ending with seaside treatment and individual counseling.
A significant way we supplement these eclectic approaches is by including dual diagnosis. Women in particular are prone to depression and anxiety disorders, and leaving such issues unchecked can easily derail the most energized attempts at recovery. At Orchid, you work with professionals who can offer substantive care for everything that ails you, often producing results miles ahead of anything you could have achieved on your own.
There are too few outstanding options for women's recovery out there. Women, more than men, draw strength, support, and affirmation from their fellow women, and effective professional environments only amplify this effect. Orchid evolved as a much-needed response to recovery approaches that focused almost exclusively on the psychology of men-approaches that encouraged hard manual labor and forced deprivation as a matter of course. What you get here is something entirely different: a sanctuary of respite and healing where the bonds of love intertwine with rigorous and compassionate professional care.
Please don't hesitate to contact the experts at Orchid by calling toll free at if you have any remaining questions. Often a single phone conversation is all you need to get started on an essential and affirming course of recovery. With a little patience and the desire to heal, you may quickly discover why hundreds of alumni continue to maintain the relationships they forge here for years into the future.
