Drug and alcohol rehab centers for women provide a very good way for female substance abusers to handle their addiction issues in an all-female environment. There are several advantages to attending a drug or alcohol treatment center for women such as the fact that such programs cater to issues specific to their female clients. While receiving treatment in an all women treatment program the client will also address 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 treatment will give the recovering woman the ability to confront her problems in an environment that is supportive and free from judgment.
