Discover the NEOVIVA Women's programme
About the Programme
The NEOVIVA Women’s Programme is a pioneering, group-based treatment meticulously designed to meet the unique needs of women within a co-ed environment. It fosters community while offering focused, personalised care, creating a safe and inclusive space for women to address addiction’s social, psychological, and biological dimensions.
Building on the success of our Signature programme and developed by a team of experienced specialists with decades of clinical expertise, this programme reflects a profound understanding of the unique challenges women encounter in addiction and recovery. Extensive research into gender differences in addiction, relapse, and healing shaped this approach, integrating trauma-informed care, emotional resilience-building, and gender-specific treatment modalities.
Through comprehensive assessments and personalised care plans, the programme identifies and addresses the underlying causes of addiction, paving the way for a holistic and effective recovery journey.
Each treatment plan is tailored to the unique physical and mental health needs of every woman, fostering a balanced and sustainable recovery. While the programme is specifically designed to address women’s needs, it is delivered in a co-ed environment where participants interact with both women and men, reflecting our commitment to preparing individuals for real-life settings and lasting success.

Women face different challenges than men:
Social and Psychological Factors: Women are more likely to experience trauma, abuse, and stress from fulfilling family responsibilities. While men often focus on achieving social success, women may turn to substances to cope with emotional pain and pressure.
Biological Differences: Women experience unique biological factors that shape their susceptibility to substances, their physiological responses, the progression to addiction, and their recovery. Key influences include hormonal changes, differences in body composition, variations in pain perception and sensitivity, metabolic rates, and cardiovascular function.
Support and Relationships: Women often require therapy focused on rebuilding family relationships and creating safe social connections.

Why a dedicated programme for women?
Research shows that women face unique challenges in addiction recovery that require specialised care. Without addressing these needs, the chances of relapse increase significantly. Here’s why a programme tailored to women makes all the difference:
- Higher Relapse Risk: Up to 70% of women relapse within the first year after treatment without adequate support, compared to 50-55% for men.
- Unresolved Trauma: Trauma is a major driver of addiction and relapse among women, often overlooked in traditional programmes.
- Family and Social Pressures: Women face unique stressors, such as caregiving responsibilities and societal expectations, which can hinder recovery.
- Gender-Specific Focus: Traditional treatment often overlooks the biological, psychological, and social factors unique to women’s recovery.
The NEOVIVA Women’s Programme bridges these gaps with tailored care, holistic therapies, and long-term support.
