Women's Rehab Program

Womens-Rehab-Program
The most effective addiction treatment programs are tailored to the needs of the individuals in treatment. In order to help those who are struggling with substance use issues reach a place of sustainable recovery, TruHealing Riverbend offers men’s and women’s rehab programs. These addiction treatment programs offer tailored treatment for men and women who are working towards recovery in a safe, supportive environment. Every individual in our care receives a unique treatment plan, and in our women’s rehab, we can personalize these plans to address the specific needs of women.

In our women’s rehab program in Jeffersonville, IN, you’ll find a safe space in which you can start to work through your experiences with addiction. You’ll also develop a network of support that can help you in the early stages of recovery and beyond. At TruHealing Riverbend, our goal is for you to leave our women’s rehab program with the tools you need for lasting recovery and healthy, happy life free from drugs and alcohol.

Connect with our team at (855) 652-0546 or reach out online today to learn more about how our women’s addiction treatment program can make a difference in your life.

Do You Need a Women’s Rehab Program?

Not sure if you or a loved one would benefit from a women’s rehab program? There are a number of reasons why we offer a women’s-only space for our clients. First, men and women can have different experiences with substance abuse. Due to this, in a co-ed setting, some of your time in treatment would be spent discussing problems that typically affect men. You also might not feel as comfortable speaking up in a mixed-gender setting. 

However, in TruHealing Riverbend’s women’s rehab center, you’ll find the space to discuss issues affecting you and your sobriety. You can be open about your substance use issues and any co-occurring mental health disorders with other women in recovery. And you might find that it’s easier to talk about issues like harassment and discrimination in the workplace without the presence of men.

Trauma can play a role in substance use disorders. Domestic violence, sexual assault, and other traumatic experiences can leave women with resulting feelings of shame, anger, depression, or anxiety. At TruHealing Riverbend, our staff understands these experiences and can help you work through them.

What to Expect in Our Women’s Rehab Center Program

We take the unique needs of each of our clients into account when creating our personalized treatment plans. In our women’s rehab, you’ll find a safe, welcoming space. Some of the benefits of choosing a women-only addiction treatment program include the following:

  • Freer communication in group therapy settings and with staff members
  • A distraction-free environment
  • The ability to form a strong network of support with other women
  • Unique treatment plans for each client
  • Planning for the future during your sessions

At TruHealing Riverbend, you’ll also find staff members who truly care about your well-being. Our goal is to help you overcome addiction and find lasting sobriety.

As we continue to grow Amatus Health, the need to stay competitive and differentiate ourselves in unique ways is crucial. Building creative approaches to reach more people will take our company to new heights. This is why I am pleased to announce that we are officially rebranding. Our new national name, TruHealing Addiction & Mental Health Treatment, will eventually replace Amatus Recovery Centers.

You may be asking, “Why are we doing this?” This new name will give us national uniformity and help brand ourselves as a whole, which will be done in phases. You will still see our existing facility names co-branded with TruHealing for the time being.

Healing is what we do. Everyone who comes through our doors is in a moment of profound struggle in their lives. We support them through a life-changing process of healing and recovery, and they leave our facilities changed. This new name is a representation of that process. As mentioned above, it also allows us to have a national brand, which will make us a recognizable name in the addiction and mental health field.

In summation, these changes present an excellent opportunity for our organization to develop our mission, vision, and purpose. I look forward to prosperous growth as we head in a new and positive direction.

Sincerely,

Mark Gold
CEO
Amatus Health

I have also been intimately privy to those suffering from mental illness and substance use. I later understood that my experiences weren’t unique, and quickly realized how pressing the need really is to effectively prevent and address. Moreover, how life-changing proper intervention truly is.”

Passions & interests: The greatest passion of mine is being able to dig into the work with men in early recovery. There is nothing better than witnessing and being a part of the change. My journey in long-term recovery has taught me to value the little things in life that I am now able to do. I love to do anything that allows me to be present with my wife, family, and friends. My wife and I enjoy traveling, trying new foods, and taking long motorcycle rides with our friends. If I am not on the road working or with my wife, I am studying or playing softball.

 

The best part of my job is being able to show up for my team and clients; they all mean the world to me. I get to brainstorm and strategize with tons of different personalities. A lot of the team does not know, but I love learning from them. If I am not learning something about our industry or workplace, I am certainly learning how to effectively collaborate with different types of individuals.

 

Together, we can change the narrative and be a part of the solution to better treat those trapped in the problem.

The best part of my job is knowing that we are creating a safe, healthy, nonjudgmental environment where people can come and better their lives.
