For these women, addiction has been a full-time job... It is a process and you manage that recovery and you folks give these women the necessary tools with which to manage their recovery and move forward with their lives.
Ever wondered how addiction treatment can be tailored specifically for women? In this episode of 'Recovery Coast to Coast', host Neil Scott sits down with Trisha Miles, a primary therapist at New Directions for Women in Costa Mesa, CA. This isn't just any treatment center; it's one of the oldest and most successful gender-specific programs in the country.
Trisha sheds light on why a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work for addiction and explains how their program provides ongoing support and management for women on their recovery journeys. She dives into the unique challenges faced by pregnant women battling addiction and how New Directions offers a safe haven where they can heal and prepare for motherhood. The program also features innovative treatments like biosound lounge chairs to help alleviate anxiety and other symptoms.
Trisha emphasizes that addiction impacts not just the individual but their families too. That's why New Directions includes family support through telephone conference sessions and other resources. Alumni functions allow women who have completed the program to give back, fostering a community of support and encouragement. Tune in to hear more about the comprehensive approach to addiction treatment at New Directions for Women and gain valuable insights into the importance of positive coping skills and support networks.
