"Women-focused" treatment attends more to emotional problems...there are certain "expectations" that come with being a woman, so "women-focused treatment" helps and attends to that area in life too.

Hello ladies. It's a bit late in the evening to ask your permission's to feature your blog at my site soberbonesxxx.com BUT, I am about to run it for this week's feature starting midnight tonight through midnight the 31st, and if there are any negative reactions from you I will be around for some time tonight and then... tomorrow of course to address those issues. I thank you in your efforts of recovery and also should mention I've just had a friend contact me who just today brought her daughter home from her 2nd trip to rehab. Any help for the two of them you can give is greatly appreciated; I will give you their information when I hear back from you. Thank you for your work and congratulations on your sobriety today.

Crossroads for Women "Research shows women who remain with their children during treatment have better chances of defeating their addictions. But a national study in 2005 found that only 3 percent of treatment centers had programs tailored specifically to pregnant women. About 14 percent of treatment centers accepted pregnant or postpartum women." - Crossroads accepts pregnant women and women with children!

As a high school teacher, I do wish more parents would do this...instead of those who purchase alcohol for their children because "it's safer for them to drink at home."

This is really a tough one for most of us. I'd suggest getting some guidance if unsure about what to tell, how much to tell and how to tell it.
