4 Benefits of a Men’s Alcohol Rehab Center

Whether or not we want to admit it, expectations of men and women in today’s society remain quite different. These different expectations can affect our ability to seek help when we need it. As men are often expected to “man up” and “tough it out” through hard times, it is more challenging for most men to admit when they may need medical care and seek help, especially if it is for alcohol addiction.

However, substance use disorders don’t discriminate, and plenty of men in the United States suffer the effects of addiction in isolation and shame. However, there’s no need to go through these situations all on one’s own. A men’s alcohol rehab center is specifically designed to support men in finding recovery and maintaining sobriety.

At Rockland Recovery in Weymouth, MA, we offer a men’s rehab center that provides skills and strategies for men to maintain their recovery.

People who become addicted to substances come from all walks of life, which means that the reasons why people fall prey to addiction also vary greatly. Men’s rehab centers target those who may need specialized therapy to help process gender-based trauma or restrictive stereotypes that may stop some from seeking help.

4 Benefits of a Men’s Alcohol Rehab Center

1. A Safe Space

The comfort of having a safe space surrounded by others who are going through similar issues and opportunities to forge new healthy friendships with other men

2. Support from Others in Treatment

Long-term support from a community with other men, all working towards the same goals, can be more extensive and meaningful than general rehab programs

3. Improved Communication

Therapy that targets blockages in communication and allows for open conversation and sharing among men

4. Individualized Treatment

Individualized treatment that provides care for both emotional and physiological issues that may affect men more prominently

Do You or a Loved One Need a Men’s Rehab Center Program?

Because of gender stereotypes and expectations, men find themselves dealing with alcoholism more than women do. Pressure to provide for one’s family, overworking, and social pressures to drink can all feed into an alcohol use problem. If you or a loved one is struggling with an alcohol addiction, look out for the following warning signs that it’s time to get help:

  • Frequent binge-drinking (5 or more alcoholic beverages over the span of 2 hours or less)
  • Drinking as a way to celebrate successes and increase the enjoyment of good days
  • Anti-social or aggressive behaviors, and difficulty coping with anxiety and stress
  • Memory lapses and trouble learning new skills

While men and women both deal with alcohol addiction, the unique circumstances that may affect men disproportionately are important to acknowledge, and that’s why a men’s alcohol rehab center may be just the kind of place for you or your loved one to find help. Men are usually not the targets of advertisements for “self-care” products and can often be expected to mask pain and suffering in order to get work done. However, taking care of yourself is important no matter who you are, and giving yourself the time to heal and recover is crucial if alcohol addiction is taking hold.

It might feel embarrassing or shameful to open up about having an alcohol addiction, as men are often expected to drink beer and behave in aggressive or combative behaviors. However, it takes real strength to admit to having a problem. Sharing in the burden of fighting addiction can also offer more successful, longer-term recovery, with less risk of relapse, as well as extended compassion and care for those who do struggle with relapse.

If you or a loved one is suffering in silence and afraid to reach out for help, don’t wait any longer to find a men’s rehab center treatment. At Rockland Recovery, we are here for you every step of the way, so don’t hesitate to message us online today or call 855.732.4842.
