Men - Ireland

Men only drug rehabilitation facilities are comparable to standard, co-ed rehab facilities except all the clients are male. These gender specific recovery programs are helpful for men because they are able to share past traumatic memories 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 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 distinct male issues and are given the education they need on how to avoid relapse once they complete treatment.
