Why women in Denver choose a gender-specific rehab

Addiction affects everyone differently, but women often face unique challenges that co-ed programs often overlook or don’t prioritize. Women often turn to substances as a way to cope with deeply-rooted trauma, especially from intimate partner violence, childhood sexual or emotional abuse, or unhealthy relationships. While other programs offer therapies that can help women with these issues, it’s likely not the lens they use when developing their programs, which makes a significant difference in how women feel understood.

Women are also more likely to be challenged by other factors, including:

• Caregiving responsibilities
• Financial stress
• Societal pressure to “hold it all together,” or to sacrifice their own needs

At Women’s Recovery, we understand these complexities and offer gender-specific rehab programs that provide space for women to:

• Feel emotionally and physically safe
• Share openly in group settings without fear of judgment
• Address root causes of addiction, including trauma and mental health conditions
• Connect with peers who truly understand their lived experiences

Our clients routinely tell us that our program is the first to see them as more than a diagnosis. Here, you’re a whole person who we empower from the beginning to play a role in your own treatment plan.

Our approach to women’s trauma, recovery, and empowerment

The Women’s Recovery approach to treatment is less rigid than some traditional treatment models. We believe that getting curious about the roots of your addiction, instead of judging it, is the key to transformation. We help our clients set challenging goals for themselves, based on what they truly want out of life, and then help them push toward those goals. Resilience and skills development are essential to breaking free of substances that hold you back.

We ask questions about the underlying emotional wounds that fuel substance use and utilize evidence-based therapies to equip our clients with the tools they’ll need to live a sober life.

Since trauma is common among women with substance use disorders—in fact, up to 80% of women in addiction treatment report a history of trauma. (1) A trauma-informed approach is foundational to the therapies we offer:

• Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing therapy (EMDR): Through guided sessions that involve bilateral stimulation, clients revisit distressing memories in a safe, controlled environment, allowing their brain to reprocess and heal.
• Trauma-focused cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT): A methodology that helps clients develop new ways of thinking and responding through skill-building and reframing harmful thinking patterns.
• Acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT): An empowering approach that helps women clarify their personal values and commit to changes that support those values.
• Motivational interviewing (MI): A client-centered approach that strengthens your motivation to change. Through collaborative conversations, clients explore ambivalence and internal motivation to pursue recovery.
• Relapse prevention therapy: Practical tools to help our clients manage triggers, develop coping strategies, and build confidence for their next step in life.
• Neurofeedback therapy: A brain-based technique that promotes emotional regulation and nervous system balance. Neurofeedback can be especially helpful for women struggling with anxiety, PTSD, or emotional dysregulation resulting from trauma.
• Mindfulness and somatic work: This includes yoga, breath work, and grounding techniques. Trauma can cause disconnection from the body, but these practices restore a sense of presence and control.
• Group therapy: In all-female groups, women can speak openly about issues like abuse, self-esteem, motherhood, or shame without fear of judgment. A sense of connection is found between a community of women, and future network opportunities are formed.

We also provide dual diagnosis support for women experiencing mental health conditions such as PTSD, depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, or eating disorders. Our all-female counseling staff has the certifications, years of experience, and lived experiences to equip you for sustained sobriety.

Your recovery matters

In 2024, 26.4% of adults ages 18 or older in Summit County and 27.8% in Denver County reported binge drinking in a 30-day period. For women, this is defined as four or more drinks in a short period. Whether you’re struggling with alcohol or substances, you don’t have to wait until things get worse to get help. If you’ve tried to stop, but can’t, we’re here for you.

We provide intensive outpatient options, so you can still show up for those most important to you, even as you tend to your most important resource—your health. Virtual options are also available.
