Chicora - MenMen only drug treatment facilities are similar to standard treatment programs except all the clients are male. These gender specific treatment centers are beneficial for men because they are able to participate with recovery in an environment where they can feel free of judgment and having to maintain a tough exterior at all times. What drives men to experiment and become addicted to drugs or alcohol is typically different than women.
