Smarmore Castle Drug & Alcohol Rehab
Experiencing addiction problems is devastating for anyone, but in some respects it can prove even more damaging to women. Women are generally more susceptible to the physical ravages of addiction, due to differences in biology.
In addition, they are more likely to develop psychological issues in association with addiction such as depression, trauma, or shame. Although men are more likely to become addicted to alcohol or drugs, some research suggests that addicted women may find it more difficult to stop using substances.
