Drug and alcohol treatment programs for women provide an excellent way for female addicts to handle their addiction problems in an all-female environment. There are many advantages to attending a drug or alcohol treatment program for women such as 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. Dealing with these sensitive issues while in treatment will give the recovering woman the capacity to confront her problems in a setting that is supportive and free from judgment.
