Drug Abuse
In the shadow of addiction, lives can become unrecognizable. Drug abuse is not just a habit, but a complex web of choices, influences, and responses. We illuminate the paths leading out of this shadow.
Treating Addiction + Underlying Conditions
Substance abuse among women is a complex, multi-dimensional issue that does not discriminate. It affects individuals from all walks of life and across all age groups. At The Pearl, we understand the unique journeys of women struggling with substance abuse, and we’re committed to providing a path to recovery that addresses the addiction and the individual underlying needs of each woman.
The Common Substances Women Are Abusing
Substance abuse among our clients often involves:
- Prescription Pills: These can start as a legitimate course of treatment for issues such as pain, anxiety, or sleep disorders, but can quickly escalate into dependency and addiction.
- Marijuana: Viewed by some as a less harmful drug or a means to self-medicate, the increased accessibility and societal acceptance of marijuana have led to a rise in misuse and related problems.
- Cocaine: Though not as prevalent, this dangerous substance offers an escape from reality that can result in a severe addiction.
- Heroin/Fentanyl: Fentanyl’s potential for overdose and accidental poisoning poses a substantial risk factor, particularly as it's often mixed with other drugs.
Rooted in Deeper Issues
At the core of substance abuse often lies untreated trauma, undiagnosed mental health disorders, or unresolved emotional pain. These substances are merely temporary solutions, attempts to numb or escape these underlying issues. However, this avoidance only amplifies the problem, spiraling into addiction and other complications.
The Path to Recovery at The Pearl
Our approach to treatment at The Pearl is informed by understanding the unique circumstances of each woman. We go beyond merely addressing the symptoms of substance abuse, reaching into the root cause. Our therapeutic modalities include:
