The need for specialized care for drug and alcohol abuse is growing. According to the 2015 Behavioral Health Barometer, United States Annual Report an estimated 17 million people were dependent on or abused alcohol in the past year. However, only 7.6% of those individuals sought out treatment. An additional 7.1 million people were dependent or abused illicit drugs in the same year. Of those individuals 14.6% received treatment.
While substance abuse affects both men and women, a three-year study conducted by the National Center on Addiction and Substance Abuse at Columbia University revealed that girls and young women use substances for different reasons than boys and young men. The study found that risk factors such as low self-esteem, peer pressure, and depression make young women more vulnerable to substance use and substance disorders. Thus, the path out of addiction for women is also very different.
Synergy Recovery Center offers a unique, long term treatment model that addresses women’s specific needs. This type of drug and alcohol rehab center is the first of its kind in Missouri and the Midwest. Synergy provides a holistic approach to recovery, utilizing both traditional based practices along with innovative techniques to encompass the mind, body, and spirit. Synergy is a small, private treatment home that provides a trauma informed environment along with individualized recovery services to promote healing.
Mental health professionals Ann Koetting and Paige Tuck recognized that there were very few options for women seeking private treatment. This was the motivator to design and develop a program that offered specialized one-on-one services with the utmost concern for privacy. Koetting said, “Being able to help the first women successfully complete the program is very encouraging. It is exciting to see firsthand that our treatment model is working.”
Solutions are needed as the demand for drug and alcohol treatment continues to grow. Developing innovative programs and having accessible resources is paramount to helping individuals achieve long-term, sustainable recovery. The success of the women that have completed Synergy Recovery Center's program is a testament to an innovative treatment model focusing on women's distinct needs. The results Synergy has seen are encouraging and appear to be a step in the right direction in providing a much needed resource.
Located on 20 beautiful acres in Rogersville, Missouri, Synergy Recovery Center is an 8-bed upscale facility where women can relax and focus on their transition toward a healthier lifestyle.
