Men - Cornell

Men only drug rehabilitation programs are similar to standard, co-ed treatment centers except all the participants are male. These gender specific recovery centers are beneficial for men because they are able to participate with recovery in a setting 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 often different than women. The core issues that men struggle with when it comes to achieving and maintaining sobriety are also different than women. While attending a men only drug treatment program participants are counseled on these male specific issues and are given the education they need on how to avoid relapse once they leave treatment.
