Women that drink and use run much higher risks specific to their physiological make-up. Take for instance the basic differences in male and female body weight. Four ounces of alcohol consumed by the average size male will affect the average size woman at an almost two to one ratio. If a man and woman are of equal weight; each one ounce of alcohol consumed will affect men and women at markedly different rates. Males have a much higher density of water per kilogram than their female counterparts. Water density is an essential component affecting the body’s metabolic rate and consequently the expulsion of toxins. Women who abuse alcohol and drugs are at a natural disadvantage compared to their male counterparts.

The following are a few common risks specific to gender:

• Sexual Assault
• Physical Battery
• Menstrual dysfunction
• Fertility problems
• Miscarriage
• Fetal Alcohol Syndrome
• Early onset menopause
• Quicker onset of Blackout Syndrome

Life has much more to offer than getting high or drunk. Drug and alcohol rehabilitation helps women heal their bodies, get in touch with their emotions and find their inner spirit. It is the spirit within that eventually leads addicted women away from inner darkness and into the light which is life. We understand what addicts are going through. The pain of addiction can be agonizing. We will show everyone how to end their suffering and begin living a healthy life again.

Do not lie to yourself! Addiction kills! It may not mean mortality as in an overdose, but it may. Do not be fooled into thinking there will not be consequences for poisoning your body. Each time toxins enter the body an inner phenomenon known as homeostasis makes adjustments to put the body back to a state of equilibrium so all bodily organs can function as needed. Homeostasis is actually the cause of drug and alcohol tolerance. And tolerance is a red flag for an impending addiction. When you poison the body, parts of the body die. If you poison the body too much the entire body dies (overdose). It is that simple. You will either live a drug and alcohol free and healthy life or you will pay the consequences for your actions. No one else is responsible for your health. Make a decision to change and we can help.

Do you recognize these ladies?

Rest in Peace Anna, Daniel, Marilyn, Judy and Dana.
