It’s already hard for many people to admit to having issues with drugs or alcohol. Fears about undermining their perceived masculinity may prevent some men from seeking help for a substance use disorder. Crestview Recovery provides a safe haven at their men’s rehab center near Albany OR. It’s a place where men get the opportunity to speak with and learn from others also working their way towards recovery.
Treatment Needs For Men
The evolution of rehab treatments in recent years started with the acknowledgment that men and women have different needs for rehab. Gender-specific places like a men’s drug rehab program make it easier for people to address issues pertinent to their gender. Men typically feel freer to express themselves without having the opposite sex listening in on their sessions.
Like women, men often come into rehab suffering the effects of childhood trauma alongside mental health disorders. They struggle with anger issues, low self-esteem, and problems handling stress. They may feel like they’re failing to support their families or meet the needs of their partners. Crestview Recovery’s drug rehab program near Albany OR creates an environment where men feel more at ease talking through their problems.
Men’s Rehab Program
Crestview Recovery offers everything from alcohol treatment to help those who need dual diagnosis treatment. Our men’s rehab center provides our men clients with the support needed to work through various issues. Having the constant support of peers who have made similar mistakes helps men see they are not alone in their struggle.
The extended care addiction treatment program is a chance for clients to give and receive the care and back-up needed to meet their treatment goals. They learn to develop better social and communication skills critical to living a sober life outside the walls of the men’s rehab center.
Therapy sessions provide an opportunity to explore how gender expectations for men played a role in driving clients toward a substance use disorder. The focus is on men and how they can break through the stereotypes that drive poor behavior. Many have unexpressed trauma from sexual abuse and other exploitation that society perceives as taboo for men. That underlying shame can become a hurdle in getting to and staying in recovery.
Treatment For Men
Men tend to be more at risk for developing a substance use disorder because they may be less likely to seek help. Crestview Recovery’s men’s rehab center offers a variety of different programs meant to help men address issues hindering them from living a healthy, fulfilling life.
- Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy — Helps men conceptualize and process emotions in ways that drive better decision-making at the moment.
- Dialectical-Behavior Therapy — Helps men learn to control and regulate emotions
- Family Therapy — Gives men the chance to address any harm they’ve caused to the family unit. It’s also a time for resolving past conflicts that put up roadblocks to effective communication with family members.
Crestview Recovery’s men’s rehab center offers holistic therapy treatments that work on the entire being. Men can take part in traditional therapies alongside alternative methods that help them work through past traumas.
The men’s rehab program focuses on making breakthroughs that get to the core of a client’s addiction problems. Crestview Recovery therapists and staff understand that men need help tackling issues once they are back in the real world. We offer them tools and strategies meant to help them face their problems without relapsing.
