This allows girls to open up in groups without judgment or apprehension, creating a better treatment experience. Teenage girls can deal with much different issues relating to addiction than teen boys. Studies have shown that teen girls are more susceptible to drug addiction issues, than teen boys are for drug abuse and addiction.
Allowing young women to focus on treatment and studies without the distraction from boys enables them to devote more time and energy not only on their school work but their treatment as well. When girls recover in a gender specific treatment program for teens, they tend to not focus on their outer beauty and focus on inner healing while in treatment. Most programs limit the time and activities with male clients if they have a co-ed facility. It can be important for teenage girls to interact with boys in an appropriate manor, limited to structured and heavily supervised activities.
