Addiction and Mental Health in Women: Unique Challenges and Treatment Approaches
Women tend to experience and respond to addiction and mental health challenges differently than men. Understanding the differences is important for developing effective approaches to meet women’s needs.
Some of the unique challenges women may face include:
- Prevalence of co-occurring disorders: Women are more likely than men to experience addiction and co-occurring mental health disorders like eating disorders, anxiety and depression. The conditions often relate to one another, which can worsen the other. This complicates the clinical picture and requires integrated treatment approaches.
- Influence of hormonal fluctuations: Women’s hormones change throughout their lives, including during menstruation, pregnancy, postpartum and menopause. These shifts can impact mental health and substance use. For example, hormone fluctuations can worsen symptoms of depression and other mood disorders. That can, in turn, make women more vulnerable to turning to substances as a type of coping mechanism.
- Trauma’s impact: Women are more likely to have experienced trauma. This can include domestic violence and sexual abuse, contributing to addiction and mental health issues. In our women’s treatment center, we’re equipped to provide trauma-informed care.
- Social and cultural expectations: Pressures and cultural expectations surrounding concepts of caregiving, self-sacrifice and femininity can impact a woman’s mental health and willingness to get help. Women may feel guilt for prioritizing their well-being, or they could delay getting necessary treatment because of a fear of judgment.
- Substance use patterns: Compared to men, women may use drugs or alcohol for different reasons, such as coping with trauma or emotional pain. Women are more likely to progress to dependence more quickly as well.
The Berman Center is Atlanta’s top provider of outpatient mental health treatment and addiction treatment.

Importance of Addiction Treatment for Women
Addiction treatment programs for women often feature:
Because of the high prevalence of trauma among women, addiction treatment for women often integrates trauma-informed care. This approach recognizes trauma’s impact on addiction and mental health. There’s an emphasis on safety, empowerment, and therapeutic interventions that help with processing and healing from traumatic experiences.
Women’s treatment programs can include support and education related to hormonal changes and reproductive health. By taking a holistic approach, women can learn how to manage symptoms and build healthy coping methods.
Women might prioritize relationships in their lives, and as a result, they can experience addiction and mental health issues differently because of interpersonal dynamics. A women’s treatment program can address relationship and family dynamics and parenting concerns. This helps women improve communication, set boundaries, and build healthy relationships.
Women can build connections with other women going through similar experiences in addiction treatment programs. Everyone can feel validated and understood. Peer support is a big part of recovery, providing accountability, encouragement and belonging.
Addiction treatment programs for women can include interventions that address mental health and substance abuse together. At The Berman Center, we offer drug addiction treatment and treatment for co-occurring mental disorders in a private, comfortable environment.

Stories of Hope
Levels of Outpatient Care at Our Women's Treatment Center
We offer several levels of outpatient treatment at The Berman Center, including:
Partial Hospitalization Program
Our partial hospitalization program (PHP) is our most intensive level of care, and it can be a step down from residential treatment or a starting point. It’s structured throughout the day and includes multiple therapy hours and daily activities. The program emphasizes skill building and relapse prevention.
PHPs take a holistic approach, including both individual and group therapy, medication management and practices like mindfulness and exercise. During a PHP at The Berman Center, clients can maintain some aspects of their daily lives, helping ease the transition back into responsibilities while receiving substantial support.
Intensive Outpatient Program
An intensive outpatient program (IOP) is less intensive than a PHP but still supportive and structured, including several therapy sessions weekly. An IOP lets women at our center attend therapy while managing other responsibilities, with regular group and individual therapy sessions providing continued support and accountability. The program reinforces skills learned in different levels of care and supports ongoing recovery.
Standard Outpatient Treatment
Our most flexible level of care is a standard outpatient program, with fewer hours of therapy each week. The level is well-suited to women who have made significant progress in their recovery and need minimal support in maintaining their sobriety and mental health. A standard outpatient program lets women fully engage in their personal and professional lives with minimal disruption.
