Program Overview
Gender Specific Treatment
Rural Women’s Recovery Program follows a gender specific treatment model, meaning that we take many aspects of a women’s life into consideration when creating an individualized treatment plan. Gender specific treatment focuses not only on alcohol and other drugs of abuse, but it also encourages women to examine the root causes of their use. Our program provides educational groups that focus on the biological, psychological, social and spiritual factors of addiction.
Treatment for Co-Occurring Disorders
Our program provides substance abuse as well as mental health counseling to help women develop hope, knowledge and the skills they need to manage their problems and to pursue meaningful life goals. Women who have co-occurring mental health and substance abuse issues can recover and lead healthy lives.
Highly Qualified Staff
Rural Women’s Recovery Program employees are highly trained professional staff who care deeply about helping women heal from the disease of addiction. Our program employs independently licensed clinical staff, a skilled medical team as well as caring support staff. Our staff receives addiction and mental health training on a yearly basis so to remain abreast of current theories and treatments for the disease of addiction.
Holistic Approach
Research has shown that addiction is not an “island”, meaning that most often it does not occur in isolation from other life challenges nor does it stand alone. Our program uses research based group and individual therapeutic techniques that provide a supportive environment for women to examine all aspects of their lives. A holistic approach takes into consideration issues specifically affecting women’s lives through a mind, body and spirit approach.
Individualized Treatment Plans
The clinical staff closely examines each woman’s history on a case by case basis to create an individualized treatment plan designed to specifically address the needs of that woman. Individualized treatment plans allow a clinician to focus on issues relating to that women’s life experiences and use history, instead of following a generic treatment outline. Clinicians will work with women over the duration of their treatment stay to ensure that their treatment plan is working for them.
