Why Gender-Specific Addiction Treatment?
Men’s and women’s rehab programs are sensitive to some of the gender differences that play into addiction. Some of these include:
- Cause – Men will often begin drinking or abusing drugs as part of socializing, while women are more likely to self-medicate, for example, because of mental health challenges.
- Co-occurring disorders – Because women are more likely than men to self-medicate, for example, for anxiety, depression, or PTSD, they are apt to need dual diagnosis treatment.
- Substances – Women are more likely to become addicted to prescription medications, while men abuse alcohol and illicit drugs more commonly than women.
- Comfort – Women who have been traumatized by sexual assault or domestic abuse will be more comfortable in a women’s rehab setting. At the same time, men are more likely to feel safe being vulnerable and honest among other men.
If you live in North Carolina and are thinking about getting serious about getting healthy, consider beginning your recovery in the security of a single-gender program. Gender-specific addiction treatment in NC is available at Insight Recovery Center, Asheville.
