Addiction is not a failure of willpower. It is a chronic brain disease—and women deserve treatment that understands their unique struggles and strengths.
Call Us: +91 9289730444Substance abuse and addiction are often misunderstood as issues of willpower or choice. In reality, addiction is a chronic brain disease shaped by genetics, environment, trauma, and mental health.
For women, addiction progresses differently. According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), women move from first use to dependence faster than men—a phenomenon called “telescoping.”
Women also face higher relapse rates, co-occurring depression, anxiety, trauma-related disorders, and greater stigma. At Athena Okas, we reject one-size-fits-all treatment and provide care built exclusively for women.
Recovery is not just about stopping substances—it’s about restoring dignity, freedom, and identity.
Safe withdrawal with gender-sensitive medical care and medications when required
Address negative thought patterns, emotional regulation, and trauma responses
EMDR & somatic therapies to heal trauma safely without re-triggering
Buprenorphine, Naltrexone, or Acamprosate to reduce cravings and relapse
Safe spaces that build sisterhood, honesty, and peer support
Repair relationships, identify triggers, and build long-term recovery plans
After losing my husband, I felt my world collapse. I stopped eating, stopped smiling, and lost interest in everything. At Athena Okas, I was gently guided through grief counseling and treatment for depression.
I was hesitant at first, but the holistic approach really worked for me. The yoga and meditation sessions combined with therapy were life-changing. The doctors understood my hormonal history and adjusted my treatment perfectly.
Addiction does not define a woman. Recovery begins with the right support.
