Just like women, men have unique needs when it comes to addiction treatment. They often face cultural stereotypes and stigma; many men feel judged or viewed as weak for entering addiction treatment. Gender-specific programs offer a more comfortable and accepting space for men. 

Men also typically require more time than women to open up and voice their struggles or emotions. Therefore, specific therapy methods are more helpful to men than others. For example, men respond better to cognitive-behavioral therapy than introspection, meaning individual and group therapy sessions must be structured differently. 

Male sexual abuse is another serious issue that gender-specific treatment addresses that are often overlooked in traditional treatment settings. Sexual abuse is a sensitive issue for men that can be handled more openly and honestly in a single-gender environment.

The option to seek addiction help in a gender-specific program allows an understanding, safe, and respectful environment that builds the foundations for lasting recovery.
