Women can't drink or use drugs like men. We're not built for it!
The pandemic has thrown a curveball at everyone, but for women grappling with addiction, the challenges have been particularly steep. In this episode of 'Anatomy of Addiction', hosts Marilyn Spiller and Lynnel Brewster, along with guest Rae Green, dive into the heightened struggles women face during these unprecedented times. From juggling caregiving duties to dealing with isolation and stress, women are turning to alcohol and drugs more than ever before.
But here's the kicker - women's bodies just aren't built to handle substances the same way men's are. This episode sheds light on the critical need for gender-specific treatment and a compassionate approach to recovery. Rae Green passionately discusses why understanding these differences is vital for effective treatment. The conversation doesn't just stop at the challenges; it also offers a beacon of hope.
By focusing on building resilience and creating a supportive network, the hosts aim to empower women to find their path to recovery. Whether you're personally affected or supporting someone who is, this episode provides valuable insights and encouragement. Tune in for an informative and heartfelt discussion that underscores the importance of tailored care and community support in overcoming addiction.
