Holistic and Integrative Approach
Treating the whole person is vital to long-term sobriety and wellness. At The Rose House, we treat the whole person using psychological, emotional, spiritual, physical, and medical approaches. Using evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Equine Therapy, Advanced Emotional Regulation, Art Therapy, Grief and Loss treatment, and Inner Child work, we treat addiction, trauma, depression, anxiety, and other mental health disorders.
We also incorporate daily exercise, including hiking, yoga, gym membership, qi-gong, and rock climbing, as well as weekly nutrition instruction.
In order to foster sustained recovery and prevent relapse, we take clients into the local community to attend nightly recovery meetings such as AA/NA, CODA (codependency anonymous), ACA (adult children of alcoholics/dysfunctional families), EA (emotions anonymous), Disordered Eating Recovery Groups, Dharma Recovery, SMART Recovery, etc.
Our clients also learn to count their blessings, increase their self-esteem, and decrease feelings of entitlement by participating in volunteer opportunities with local non-profits on a regular basis.
Gender Specific Treatment
The Rose House provides female-specific substance use and mental health treatment by taking into account the specific needs of women in order to maximize the opportunity for their sobriety, growth, and health. Research has shown that gender-responsive treatment is clinically indicated and evidence-based for women experiencing substance abuse, mental health, and trauma issues.
By offering an integrative approach, we draw on research-based conclusions about best practices in women’s treatment.
Gender Responsive Treatment
Addressing the Specific Needs of Women, Treatment Considerations Should Include:
- Trauma Histories – A higher prevalence of trauma, such as physical or sexual abuse, is found among women seeking treatment for substance use or mental health disorders.
- Relationships with Families – Many women are primary caregivers, and treatment must consider issues like parenting, childcare needs, and co-dependent relationship dynamics.
- Biological Considerations – hormonal differences, brain chemistry, genetic factors, and symptom presentation vary greatly between men and women, leading to unique treatment approaches specifically for women.
- Unique Health Concerns – women are more frequently diagnosed with anxiety, depression and eating disorders compared to men. Safe spaces to discuss sexual health, body image and self-esteem are critical to progress.
- Empowerment – a strength based approach fosters compassion, accountability and community, helping women to collaborate rather than compete.
- Societal Pressure and Stigma – women seek treatment at much lower rates than men, due to traditional gender roles, leading to fear, shame and isolation
Trauma and Mental Health
Addressing trauma and mental health issues are a key differentiator for The Rose House. Some women come to us with the primary issue of mental health. Accepting women with a diagnosis of an anxiety disorder, mood disorder, personality disorder, psychotic disorder, eating disorder and trauma related disorders such as PTSD is our specialty.
Co-occurring disorders, also known as dual diagnosis, is something many of our women have. Having a substance use disorder, addiction, or alcoholism, coupled with a mental health diagnosis can be challenging. The staff at The Rose House welcome all women willing to address finding a new way of life.
The Rose House has a specific intake process as we understand women and how to help them find the life they’re seeking. If you or a loved one think The Rose House may be an option we look forward to connecting and seeing that we are a facility that can be of help.
