NEW ROCHELLE, N.Y., Jan. 8, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Women who need a residential treatment setting in which to change their addictive behaviors achieve better and quicker results when their treatment occurs in an environment free of male presence.

For many women, past triggers for addictive behavior are linked to negative past and present traumatic relationships with men. And the presence of men in a mixed gender treatment setting tends to restimulate trauma and invite a repetition of such behaviors in the treatment center itself. However, a women-only therapeutic community which is run by women for women provides the safety, security, and empathy needed to combat repetitive trauma. Such a therapeutic community exists in Israel and has now finally opened its doors to accepting English speaking applicants from outside Israel.

Applicants must be seeking recovery from addiction or alcoholism and be willing to live together in Israel for a minimum of four months. This program is run by experienced and dedicated Israeli professional women who are bilingual. The program combines twelve-step principles with the intimacy of a secure and safe urban collectivity of women who are living together in a mutually supportive therapeutic community in Haifa, Israel.

Israeli women have a long history of inspiring confidence and autonomy in others, functioning as leaders at every level of their country's cultural, political, military, and therapeutic sectors. The professional Israeli women leading this residential community offer values of responsible social membership that foster the kind of self-esteem that does not rest on male approval or attraction.
