Alcohol Rehab For Women

Alcohol addiction in women is a serious issue that can affect health, relationships, and everyday life.

If you or someone you know is struggling with alcohol addiction, don’t hesitate to seek help. Call Step One Recovery Centre for more information on how we can help.

Why Alcohol Addiction Develops

The truth is that alcohol addiction does not discriminate, and there are many reasons why people might become addicted to alcohol.

These can include:

• Genetics: If your parents or grandparents had problems with alcohol, you might be more likely to have problems, too.
• Environment: Growing up in a home where people drink a lot or feeling stressed or unhappy can make someone more likely to drink.
• Early exposure to normalised drinking: Women often start drinking at a younger age than men, which can lead to early dependency. This early exposure increases the likelihood of developing long-term alcohol-related problems.
• Relationships: Women are more likely to develop alcohol addiction if their partner is also addicted.
• Mental Health: People with anxiety, depression, or other mental health problems might use alcohol to feel better.

Alcohol Addiction in Women

Whilst alcoholism is an unbiased condition that can impact any given person, there are gender-specific risks and effects due to these biological differences between men and women.

Women with alcohol addictions may have encountered early physical and psychological impacts that have contributed to the addiction.

When a woman is addicted to alcohol, the risk of developing breast cancer, liver disease, fertility issues, and pregnancy complications is highly increased.

Alcohol addiction in women can also be linked to mental health issues, and alcohol certainly does not help. Due to the interaction between alcohol and the central nervous system, risks of depression, anxiety, and bipolar are greater in women when compared to men.

Our rehab for women specifically is designed to focus on such struggles, offer advice and provide a safe community in which to collaborate. Everything from infertility issues to recovering with a child will be approached.

Staying at a Women’s Rehab

At Step One Recovery, we manage several treatment facilities, all boasting CQC standards and personalised programmes. We can help you if you or someone you care about is abusing alcohol. Offering gender-specific facilities and programmes, we assess and follow your needs whilst treating your alcohol problems.

Gender-specific risks, effects and needs must be considered whilst treating alcoholism. Experience the right approach to rehab through our facilities.

We are here to deliver personalised residential rehab programmes for women through women-led treatment facilities and services.

You will feel the benefits of opting for a gender-specific rehabilitation process, which will influence the treatments and steps that you’ll experience in your recovery.

Our alcohol rehab clinics are designed specifically for women and will offer a safe and comfortable environment suitable for a private and intimate recovery process. Rehab facilities are considerate of female needs, from the delivered settings to the addiction treatments on offer.

Residential rehab will also offer the above gender-specific process alongside a medically accredited, effective, and personalised treatment plan. Everything from the rehab setting to the treatment programmes will be female-led for your benefit.

With professional support, long-term recovery plans will also be prioritised, helping to reduce relapse risks for women. As post-rehab struggles are found for women due to the prevalence of co-occurring disorders, rehab is designed to offer further planning, education, and aftercare on relapse prevention.
