The Emotional Aspect of Detox for Women

Outpatient detox programs for women are often
centered around counseling. This is due to the
emotional trauma many women suffer when dealing
with the effects and aftermath of drug addiction.
Women who suffer experience a traumatic
emotional loss will often have trouble coping
with the intense emotions they feel. Some turn
to alcohol, while others will turn to drugs to
help numb the pain. The emotional pain may be so
intense that they feel a physical reaction.
Strong emotional attachments can trigger
addictive tendencies that, in some ways, are used
to replace the person or thing that they lost.

Dealing with Depression
  • Outpatient detox centers for women understand how
    to treat depression. Thoughts of suicide can
    sometimes accompany deep depression.
  • women who experience this level of deep emotion
    require a level of care that surpasses the
    physical and helps to bring them back out of the
    darkness so they can effectively cope with their
    feelings.

Poor Self Esteem
  • Outpatient detox centers for women give women the
    tools to face the emotional imbalances that can
    lead to low self-esteem.
  • Women often turn to drugs and alcohol to help
    give them the courage to face certain aspects of
    their life. This type of "fake courage" can be
    misleading and often sets them up for a hard fall.

Understanding How Emotions Affect Addiction and
Recovery

    eliminate the influence of drugs from the body
