Background: due to the increasing importance of addicted women and the need to pay particular attention to this vulnerable group, and more awareness of women-specific addiction prevention and rehab programs among authorities. Objectives: In this content analysis of qualitative study we explored experiences of the women’s experience of the ups and downs of drug rehab Methods: 30 participants (addicted women) were selected through purposive and theoretical sampling until data saturation. Data collection was conducted through semi structured interviews. Conventional content analysis was utilized to analyze the transcribed interviews. Results: Based on analysis of the obtained results, the experience of women from the ups and downs of leaving the drug abuse yielded two themes and nine sub-themes. The themes were “the need for emancipation” and “Sinking factors”. Conclusions: It is concluded that addiction rehab strategies can only lead the addicted women to a brighter life when, along with open-hearted assistance by the families, women-specific rehab centers are established to help them meet their specific needs.
