FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Men have unique needs and challenges that are gender and age-specific including trauma, stress, anxiety, shame, anger, and an inability to focus. We have separate and distinct programs designed to focus on those issues. 

Men behave differently when women are present. A coed environment may present sexual tension and social pressure which distracts from the mission of recovery. Single-gender treatment removes the social pressures and other potential distractions of a coed environment and allows the men to get in touch with their emotions and experience their reaction to those emotions. 

Men & women learn differently. We have developed separate and distinct programs that offer a wide range of therapeutic activities in single-gender spaces which are designed for the psychological and physical well- being of the men in recovery. 

We teach life skills focusing on the basics of personal development, specific to those in recovery. Each Life Skills Training session consists of a an interactive group format. These are the tools and skills that help achieve and maintain the independence needed to sustain a life in recovery.

There is one important benefit of our program that addresses the issue of social isolation. Men need to be a part of a group or “brotherhood.” Single-gender therapy allows them to be part of a supportive group of other men who have the same goal of finding a life of meaningful and sustained recovery.
