Women’s Services
Ashley’s treatment options include the Women's Services, of which all female patients automatically take part. Women face unique challenges and have specific issues that general treatment may not adequately address. Our Women's Services programs provide women the opportunity to discuss the issues that are specific to them and learn to manage those challenges in a safe and non-threatening environment.
Women's Services in Ashley’s treatment includes female-only group sessions, in addition to regular daily group therapy, discussion, meditation and activities, led by a female certified addiction counselor.
Father Martin’s Ashley Women’s Groups explore:
-
Identifying the parts of self lost to addiction (to help move women through the grieving process)
-
Education on the themes common among women who relapse -- shame, perfectionism, people-pleasing, care-taking
-
Addictive relationships and how these imitate the addictive cycle of chemical addiction
-
Boundary setting (why this can be difficult; identifying where boundaries need to be set, how to set boundaries)
While women participate in the Women's Services programming, male patients have programming geared toward men in recovery.
