New Women's Program Starting in June 2018
ETRS is happy to announce that we will be starting a woman’s only program in our Taylor location. We currently run this program in our Pontiac Office. We have received such great feedback that we are now expanding the program to our Taylor Office.
We have noticed over the years that the women attending the Outpatient Substance Abuse Program have a high unsuccessful termination rate. A lot of this may be due to them being intimidated in the group which is mainly made up of men. Because a lot of women have experienced some sort of trauma in their life associated with men, we believe this to be a huge factor in the inability to successfully complete the program.
Since we started the woman’s only group in our Pontiac Office, the success rate there has increased significantly. The fact that these women can talk openly about their experiences is so helpful that they actually look forward to their group sessions and they get the support from the facilitator and the other women in the program that they need.
