Women’s detox and rehab

Many of the women who come to Pines carry a trauma history under their substance use, and many are worried about being away from their children. The Women’s Track runs on our campus with the same physician-led protocols as the rest of the program, adding trauma-informed care, safety planning, and women-only groups. We can verify your coverage before you decide anything.

Why a women-specific track

Men and women are both treated here. The track is a specialty program inside our residential campus, staffed by the same physician-led clinical team, and what it changes is the programming, calibrated to what we see clinically in women with substance use disorder.

What we see in women Trauma histories, interpersonal violence or sexual trauma, that frequently underlie substance use. Caregiving roles that make seeking treatment feel impossible. Mother-child separation as acute distress during a stay. Medical considerations including pregnancy, menstrual irregularities, and the hormonal effects of substance use.

Every patient in the Women’s Track gets the same medical care as other patients: withdrawal monitoring, medication-assisted treatment (MAT) when indicated, psychiatric care, evidence-based therapy. The track adds women’s process groups, trauma-focused programming, and family work that acknowledges caregiving realities.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is women-specific detox?

Women-specific detox is a clinical track built around dynamics of women’s substance use: trauma history, postpartum issues, prescription medication patterns, and the demands of caregiving. Medical care is identical to our standard detox protocols.

Why choose a women’s detox program?

Many women’s substance use is rooted in trauma, and mixed groups can feel unsafe to talk in. A women-only setting makes it easier to be honest in group therapy and trauma work.

What does the women’s detox track include?

The track includes 24/7 medical supervision, individual therapy with a female clinician where preferred, women-only group therapy, dual-diagnosis psychiatric support, trauma-informed care, and family programming.

How long is women’s detox?

Length depends on the substance and on your own physiology. Most women step down into residential inpatient afterward, for as long as the clinical team decides is right.

Can I bring postpartum medications with me?

Postpartum medications can be coordinated with your existing prescriber. Family programming and visitation are part of the program design.

Does insurance cover women’s detox?
