Quick Summary
Medical detox is the first stage of recovery, focused on safely removing substances from your body with 24/7 medical support to manage withdrawal symptoms through medication and therapy. Inpatient treatment at Avery Lane offers women a structured, gender-specific environment that addresses addiction alongside co-occurring mental health disorders and trauma through evidence-based therapies like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, holistic approaches such as yoga and equine therapy, and aftercare programs including intensive outpatient therapy and alumni support.

Anyone with personal experience overcoming drug addiction, whether in their own life or by supporting a loved one through this process, knows that a comprehensive approach is essential for success. Addictive behaviors can invade every aspect of life, which is why it is so hard for individuals to overcome these patterns without professional support.
The good news is that it is possible to overcome the addiction, especially when you choose the ideal rehab support. At Avery Lane, our skilled staff members are here to help. We are proud to be a leading drug rehab center, focused on women’s health and well-being.
Our approach to comprehensive care includes everything necessary for a holistic experience. Instead of only treating the symptoms, we focus on the underlying factors that are contributing to the addictive behaviors. This gender-specific approach addresses the unique challenges faced by women.
Understanding Detox: What You Need to Know
In the first stage of recovery, the highest priority is to help each patient through detox. Think of it as hitting the “reset” button on your body. The term detoxification refers to the process of removing drugs and substances from the body in a safe and effective manner. We need to address the physical effects of substance abuse before we can move forward with the deeper healing that is necessary.
During detox, your body is naturally working to eliminate the toxic substances from drugs or alcohol. It’s common for patients to experience various symptoms of withdrawal, which is why our medical team is available 24/7 in our substance abuse residential treatment program. We provide everything you need to make it through this experience, including therapy and medication, to ensure your comfort and safety every step of the way.
While detox is focused mostly on the physical aspects of the treatment program, emotional support is just as important. Our team at Avery Lane provides a safe and supportive environment that addresses your emotional and mental health needs at all times.
Why Inpatient Treatment?
As you learn more about inpatient treatment programs, it becomes clear why this approach is more effective than alternative outpatient services. We provide a stable environment where each patient can focus on their healing path. This structured process helps to eliminate the triggers and stresses, keeping patients on track throughout the program.
Our in-patient care includes a full range of modalities that can be used, based on the unique needs of each person. It’s a full-service approach, including both modern medicine and holistic alternative therapies. We customize the treatment programs to help you achieve optimal results. Available therapeutic modalities are provided through individual, group, and family settings, with the priority of addressing the underlying causes of addiction.
One of the undeniable benefits of visiting an inpatient addiction treatment center is the way we treat co-occurring conditions. Often, people suffering from substance abuse are also dealing with mental health disorders at the same time. At Avery Lane, we specialize in dual diagnosis expertise. This comprehensive approach can address the underlying mental health issues that could be contributing to addictive behaviors.
Specialized Care for Women
While addiction can affect both men and women, there are unique challenges that women face that must be addressed within the treatment program. For example, women often face a barrier to entry to seek addiction recovery support because of societal pressures, stigma, trauma, and family responsibilities. Our goal is to make addiction recovery services more accessible to women, creating a safe environment where women can heal.
Because we only work with women, all of our programs are tailored through gender-specific therapies and approaches. Additionally, many of our patients find it more comfortable and supportive to be in a female-only residential facility, especially if they are healing from trauma relating to abuse or assault.
Why Trauma-Informed Care is Critical for Women
There is a direct connection between trauma and addiction, and a large percentage of women are dealing with substance abuse as a result of trauma they have experienced in the past. At Avery Lane, we prioritize trauma-informed care in recovery. This approach gets to the root of the issues that are contributing to addictive behaviors, which can set a stronger foundation for long-term recovery.
Our professional staff members use a variety of evidence-based trauma therapies, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). These proven methods help women process and heal from past trauma, which can help with both addiction and mental health recovery.
Holistic Therapies: Comprehensive Healing from the Inside Out
In addition to evidence-based therapies, we also provide a range of holistic solutions that can support healing and recovery. The combination of traditional treatment with holistic therapies can be a powerful combination to ensure optimal results. We have found that a two-part process in our comprehensive program is a powerful way to help patients reclaim a healthier and happier way of living.
Available holistic therapies are always customized based on each patient’s unique needs and preferences. Options include yoga, meditation, art therapy, equine therapy, and more.
Strengthening the mind-body connection through a holistic approach gives each woman the self-awareness and personal insights to find success in their recovery journey. We use these methods to promote long-lasting healing, which goes beyond basic symptom management.
Preparing for Life After Rehab
While an in-patient treatment center provides the structure and support needed for each patient to progress in their healing, it’s just as important to ensure that each woman is being set up for success when she leaves our clinic. We build a strong foundation through in-patient care, then provide full support to help with the transition back to normal life.
The transition process is a make-it-or-break-it chapter as each patient learns to integrate their new tools and healing in the real world. We prepare each patient for this transition by focusing on building skills during the in-patient program, which can be applied in life after rehab.
Ultimately, each woman learns healthy coping mechanisms, how to manage triggers, and builds a supportive network to reinforce their long-term recovery. Stepping out of an in-patient program doesn’t mean that a patient will automatically slip back into old habits and patterns again. We proactively build strategies and methods to keep each person on track after they leave our clinic.
A variety of aftercare programs provide the ongoing support women need going forward. Not only is intensive outpatient therapy available, but it is often helpful for women to participate in group therapy and alumni events as well.
Community and Support: Finding Strength Together
At Avery Lane, we highlight the power of connection. The importance of community and peer support is undeniable in long-term recovery, which is why we help women build communities that continue beyond our in-patient treatment program.
In fact, researchers have found that a peer-supported community program can have a significant impact on addiction recovery. When a person has a strong support group during recovery, it helps to reduce the likelihood of relapse.
When you leave Avery Lane, you have a supportive sisterhood that is built through shared experiences and caring relationships. This sense of belonging helps you know that you aren’t alone in your recovery. These relationships are formed through group experiences and activities, and you can maintain these relationships when you transition back to your normal way of living after the in-patient program is complete.
Our Alumni Network is designed to provide the continued support and connection you need as you are navigating sober living in the future.
Success Stories: Real Women, Real Transformations
Will an inpatient program work for you? If you are dealing with substance addiction, then we invite you to talk to our team about the results we have been able to achieve with other women in similar situations. At Avery Lane, we have a long history of success, helping real women create thriving lives through lasting transformations.
Sarah (name changed) is an example of the transformation that many women experience in our addiction recovery programs. She was hesitant to seek treatment because of societal and cultural stigmas about addiction. When she arrived at our clinic, she felt lost and broken – hiding her addiction had taken a toll on her life. We saw the shift within the first week of our inpatient care. She uncovered the root causes of her addiction through individual therapy and connected with a supportive community of women through group sessions.
When Sarah left our clinic, she felt empowered and continued using holistic therapies and self-care tools to manage stress and find joy, helping her maintain a new, drug-free way of living. Sarah tells us that Avery Lane was her turning point, helping her reconnect to herself and build a life she is proud of.
