The unpredictability of addiction means it impacts everyone in different ways. We now know that men and women have unique struggles when it comes to substance use. Progress in understanding those differences have led to the creation of programs meant to help both genders manage those variations and provide the most effective care. Crestview Recovery’s men’s rehab center near Bend OR allows men to bond others having similar experiences.
Impacts of Addiction on Men
The needs of men and women are different when it comes to overcoming addiction. A men’s rehab center focuses on the issues common to men battling a substance use disorder. They may feel less comfortable talking about their problems in front of a mixed-gender setting. Men tend to feel freer about communicating their inner thoughts when the opposite sex is not listening in.
Many male clients also suffer the effects of trauma from their past. Unresolved issues from childhood, in addition to untreated mental health conditions, can make them vulnerable to falling into addictive behaviors. Other problems like low self-esteem, anger, and issues with stress may be expressed through violent behavior that gets them into legal trouble. There’s also the feeling of failing at being supportive enough to friends and family.
The environment at Crestview Recovery’s drug rehab center near Bend, OR helps men feel at ease talking about what they’ve gone through. Digging down into the core of addiction issues is key to assisting men in working their way to a meaningful and lasting recovery.
