Drug and alcohol treatment programs designed specifically for men are emerging across the nation. Although rehab programs that treat both men and women are still the standard for drug and alcohol rehabilitation, many facilities are creating programs designed to help a particular target group. These facilities are able to focus on what their client's individual needs are in a way that standard programs are not. Although these specialized types of treatment programs are not necessary for all recovering addicts, many men are deciding on men-only addiction rehab programs. This treatment option is excellent for those who feel more comfortable with those of the same sex when discussing private and often difficult issues from the past. Recovering from addiction is a difficult process for every addict and finding comfort among one's peer group is an excellent way of getting the support needed to make the process that much more bearable and successful.
