Why Choose a Men's Only Drug Rehab?

Not every drug and alcohol addiction treatment program is the same as the next. There are many different routes, or "niches" that drug rehabs usually follow. These niches can be:

• Luxury Rehab
• Residential Rehab
• Sober Living Programs
• Equine Therapy Rehab
• Dual Diagnosis Rehab
• Women's Only Rehab 
• Men's Only Rehab

All of these types of rehab programs and centers all have their own merits, and are great options for different types of people that are taking steps to get sober.

Right now, we want to explain all of the positives about checking into a men's only treatment facility. There are many types of men's only facilities, and these might also crossover into luxury rehab, or equine rehab on a working ranch, or any other type of program. The benefit of attending men's only facilities, is an extra sense of solidarity in the recovery process.

There are many factors that may trigger negative behaviors or cravings to use drugs and alcohol in a recovering addict. In rehab, these factors are kept away from recovering addicts, so that there is no temptation whatsoever. When men and women are spending this delicate time of recovery in close proximity, there is the danger of the basic nature of men and women becoming involved, and muddying the process of recovery. There may also be underlying mental conditions that can undermine recovery, for instance, if a woman has had traumatic experiences with men during her addiction, that woman should not be around men during recovery, until progress has made in treating the addiction and the underlying mental condition. These same mental blocks toward the opposite sex, may also occur in men, so a separation during recovery will allow you to concentrate on yourself first.
