Helping Women Heal from Dependence and Mental Health Struggles

Conditions We Treat: Substance Use Disorders, Mental Health Conditions, and Co-Occurring Disorders

Two women in a consultation room discussing health and wellness.
At Sol Women’s Treatment in Riverside, California, we know that dependence and emotional struggles can take many forms. For some women, it’s alcohol use that has grown into a daily reliance. For others, it’s the weight of trauma, anxiety, or depression that becomes overwhelming. And for many, substance use and mental health are intertwined—each fueling the other.

According to the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), nearly 19.4 million adults in the U.S. struggle with a substance use disorder, and women are uniquely vulnerable to faster progression of dependence and co-occurring mental health issues. That’s why we’ve designed our programs to address the full spectrum of conditions women face, with compassion and evidence-based care.

This page serves as a resource hub, guiding you through the conditions we treat, how they impact women, and the treatment options available here in Riverside.
We provide care for:
Substance Use Disorders (SUD)
Mental Health Conditions
Co-Occurring Disorders (Dual Diagnosis)

Key Takeaways

  • Women progress from first substance use to dependence faster than men—a pattern called the telescoping effect (NIDA).
  • Nearly 1 in 5 women in the U.S. experiences a mental health condition annually (NIMH).
  • Co-occurring disorders (dual diagnosis) are common: ~9.2 million U.S. adults have both a mental illness and a substance use disorder (SAMHSA).
  • Women face unique barriers to treatment: caregiving roles, stigma, and trauma exposure.
  • Integrated treatment—addressing SUD and mental health together—produces better outcomes than treating conditions separately.
  • SOL provides gender-responsive care in a private, all-female outpatient environment.

Understanding Dependence and Addiction in Women

Dependence and addiction describe different but related processes. Dependence is the body and mind's adaptation to a substance or coping behavior—over time, it becomes harder to function without it. Addiction involves compulsive use that continues despite harmful consequences.

Women often delay seeking treatment due to stigma, caregiving responsibilities, or limited access to gender-appropriate programs. SOL provides a judgment-free, all-female setting in Riverside that removes many of these barriers.

Physical vs. Psychological Dependence

Physical dependence: The body adapts to a substance (alcohol, opioids, benzodiazepines), leading to tolerance and withdrawal.
Psychological dependence: Emotional reliance develops—using substances to cope with anxiety, trauma, or daily pressures.
According to the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA), women may experience more intense cravings and a quicker onset of dependence compared to men, making early treatment essential.

Dependence vs. Addiction

Dependence = reliance on a substance or behavior.
Addiction = compulsive use despite harm.
Both are serious and require professional care.
Women often delay treatment due to stigma, caregiving roles, or lack of local support. At Sol Women’s Treatment, we provide a judgment-free, women-centered space in Riverside to begin recovery.

The Telescoping Effect: Why Women Progress Faster

The telescoping effect describes the accelerated timeline from first use to dependence and treatment entry observed in women compared to men. This pattern is documented across alcohol, opioids, and stimulants. Biological factors—including differences in body composition, hormone levels, and liver metabolism—contribute to faster absorption and more severe physiological effects at lower doses.

Substance Use Disorders Treated at SOL Women's Treatment

Substance use disorder (SUD) is a chronic condition involving compulsive substance use despite significant health, social, or occupational consequences. SOL treats a full range of SUDs in women through its women's addiction treatment programs, using medically informed, trauma-aware care.

Alcohol Use Disorder (AUD)

Alcohol use disorder is the most commonly treated substance condition at SOL. Women are at higher risk for alcohol-related liver damage, cardiovascular effects, and neurological harm at lower consumption levels than men—a disparity documented by the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism (NIAAA). [CLAIM REQUIRES FACT-CHECK OR CITATION]

  • SOL treats AUD at the PHP, IOP, and OP levels of care.
  • Ambulatory (outpatient) detox support is available for women who do not require 24-hour medical supervision.
  • Evidence-based therapies include CBT, DBT, motivational interviewing, and relapse prevention planning.

Opioid Use Disorder (Including Heroin and Fentanyl)

Opioid use disorder in women often begins with prescription opioid misuse before transitioning to heroin or illicit fentanyl. The CDC has reported rising opioid-involved overdose deaths among women, with a disproportionate burden in the 25–54 age range.

  • SOL provides outpatient-level care for opioid use disorder.
  • Treatment integrates trauma therapy, given the high overlap between opioid use and trauma history in women.

Stimulant Use Disorders: Cocaine and Methamphetamine

Stimulant use disorders—including cocaine and methamphetamine—are increasingly common among women who use substances to manage high-demand responsibilities, chronic stress, or trauma-related exhaustion.

  • Meth use is associated with significant psychiatric comorbidities, including psychosis, depression, and anxiety.
  • Cocaine use disorder frequently co-occurs with anxiety disorders in women.

See also: cocaine addiction in women | meth addiction in women

Benzodiazepine and Prescription Drug Use Disorders

Benzodiazepines (including Xanax) and prescription medications are among the most frequently misused drug classes by women, often beginning as prescribed treatment for anxiety, insomnia, or pain management.

  • Physical dependence on benzodiazepines can develop within weeks of regular use.
  • Withdrawal from benzodiazepines requires medically informed management.
  • SOL's ambulatory detox and PHP programming can support stabilization before transitioning to IOP.

Mental Health Conditions Treated at SOL Women's Treatment

According to the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH), nearly 1 in 5 women in the U.S. experiences a mental health condition annually. SOL's women's mental health treatment programs address the full range of conditions that commonly affect women, with particular attention to trauma, mood disorders, and personality conditions.

Conditions We Commonly Treat

Depression in Women
Depression is more common in women than men, with hormonal factors, postpartum changes, and cumulative life stress all playing a role. Women may experience depression as fatigue, hopelessness, withdrawal, or persistent sadness.

SOL treats major depressive disorder, persistent depressive disorder, and postpartum depression.

Evidence-based approaches include CBT, DBT, interpersonal therapy, and somatic approaches.
Anxiety Disorders
Anxiety disorders—including generalized anxiety disorder, panic disorder, and social anxiety—are the most prevalent mental health conditions in women. Symptoms include persistent worry, difficulty concentrating, physical tension, insomnia, and panic attacks.

SOL treats anxiety through CBT, DBT, mindfulness-based approaches, and somatic therapy.

Women with high-functioning anxiety may appear composed externally while experiencing significant internal distress.
PTSD
Women are approximately twice as likely as men to develop post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) following trauma exposure, according to SAMHSA. Trauma sources commonly include domestic violence, sexual assault, childhood adversity, and medical trauma.

SOL offers EMDR therapy delivered by an EMDRIA-certified therapist—a gold-standard trauma treatment.

Trauma-targeted programming is available as a specialized program track.

PTSD frequently co-occurs with SUD, depression, and BPD.
Bipolar Disorder
Bipolar disorder involves cycling mood episodes that shift between depressive and hypomanic or manic states. In women,

 bipolar II disorder is more commonly diagnosed, and symptoms can be influenced by hormonal fluctuations.

SOL treats bipolar disorder at the PHP, IOP, and OP levels.

Stabilization-focused programming addresses mood regulation and interpersonal functioning.
Borderline Personality Disorder (BPD
Borderline personality disorder is disproportionately diagnosed in women and is strongly associated with trauma histories. It involves emotional dysregulation, unstable relationships, identity disturbance, and fear of abandonment.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) is the evidence-based first-line treatment for BPD.

SOL's DBT-informed programming targets distress tolerance, emotional regulation, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness.

Co-Occurring Disorders (Dual Diagnosis) in Women

Co-occurring disorders—also called dual diagnosis—refers to the simultaneous presence of a substance use disorder and a mental health condition. SAMHSA estimates approximately 9.2 million U.S. adults live with both, and women face elevated risk due to trauma exposure and biological vulnerability. SOL's co-occurring disorder treatment addresses both conditions simultaneously within an integrated clinical framework.

Why It’s Common in Women

Alcohol + Depression → using alcohol to numb sadness.
Opioids + PTSD → managing trauma with prescription painkillers.
Stimulants + Anxiety → self-medicating with cocaine or meth.
SAMHSA estimates nearly 9.2 million U.S. adults live with both a mental illness and a substance use disorder. Women are at heightened risk due to trauma and biological differences.

Sol’s Integrated Approach

Simultaneous treatment of both conditions.
PHP, IOP, and OP options depending on severity.
Holistic care for body and mind.

It is appropriate for PTSD, complex trauma, and trauma-related anxiety. SOL's EMDR is delivered by an EMDRIA-certified therapist.

How long does treatment last?

Length of care depends on individual needs, but many women engage in 30–90 day programs, followed by outpatient or supportive housing.
