Lake Park - WomenDrug rehab programs for women provide an excellent way for female addicts to resolve their addiction problems in an all-female environment. There are many advantages to attending a drug treatment program for women including the fact that such programs cater to issues specific to their female clients. While recovering from addiction in an all women treatment program the client will also work on personal issues such as problems with their husbands, boyfriends and/or men in general. Most women drug addicts struggle with physical or sexual abuse from their past. Addressing these sensitive issues while in rehab will give the recovering woman the ability to face her problems in a setting that is supportive and free from judgment.
