Program Highlights

According to American Addiction Centers, about 15 million U.S. males (10.9%) had a substance abuse disorder in 2022. However, societal expectations and stereotypes often discourage men from seeking help, leading many to hide their struggles. Addiction treatment can be especially taboo for men, as traditional norms encourage self-reliance and discourage vulnerability. Our rehab for men program provides an environment where men can shed these expectations and build strength through vulnerability, relationships and comprehensive care.

Treatment Program Details

Societal expectations and stereotypes can make it difficult for men to live authentic lives and ask for help when they need it. Living up to societal or internal expectations can easily lead to substance abuse, mental health problems or other dependent behaviors. This program, with peer support and a private space for treatment, offers men expert guidance to build the true strength that comes through vulnerability and relationships.

Assessment/Intake

  • Detoxification services, if needed, in a state-of-the-art medical center staffed by full-time, experienced medical professionals
  • Thorough psychosocial assessment that includes an evaluation of addiction and behavioral and mental health symptoms
  • Personalized treatment options including treatment of co-occurring disorders

Treatment and Therapies

  • Gender-specific treatment to provide peer support and privacy
  • Individual counseling
  • Therapist-led groups to address key issues that support a lasting recovery
  • Evidence-based modalities such as dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) and mindfulness-based stress reduction
  • Specialty groups as clinically indicated to address trauma, relationships, adult children of alcoholics, chronic pain and grief and loss, among others
  • Spirituality lectures and individual spiritual counseling as clinically indicated
  • Exposure to mutual recovery support programs such as DHARMA, AA and SMART

Family Support

When families participate in drug and alcohol rehab, statistics show that patients have lower relapse rates. Caron’s family programming for patients in the Men’s Program and their family members includes:

  • A family program with education on substance use and mental health disorders, recovery programs, relapse, and guidance on healthy coping skills, effective boundaries, communication and self-care
  • Age-specific education and counseling for adolescents ages 7-11 and young adults 12-17 through the Youth Education Program

Transitional Care as a Foundation for Life in Recovery

The Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP) at Caron's Pennsylvania campus employs Caron’s proven, evidence-based treatment modalities to help patients increase confidence and readiness for life in recovery.

Continuing Care

Relapse Treatment Services Designed for Men’s Needs

As the only stand-alone residential program specifically for relapse in the country, the Men's Relapse Program gives you the space and expertise to work on the core issues and destructive thinking patterns that lead to relapse and develop strategies to change them. The treatment team will work with you and your family to create an integrated treatment plan based on your specific circumstances and history.

Benefits of Our Men's-Only Substance Abuse Treatment Program

Our men’s treatment program provides a focused environment that caters to the specific needs of men dealing with drug addiction, alcohol addiction and co-occurring mental health issues. This type of gender-specific rehab offers several benefits.

Targeted Treatment

Our men’s rehab program addresses issues like alcohol use, drug abuse and the underlying emotional challenges that are more common in men. By focusing on these specific areas, we are able to offer customized therapy sessions, including cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and relapse prevention strategies, tailored to men's individual needs.

Peer Support

Our group therapy and support group sessions can be highly effective forms of treatment. The camaraderie within our rehab facility fosters open discussions about drug rehab, alcohol treatment and other shared experiences, helping men build trust and support each other in addiction recovery.

Safe Space for Vulnerability

Men often struggle to express emotions and vulnerability, especially in mixed-gender environments. Our men-only program provides a safe, supportive space within the treatment facility where men can break free from these constraints, work through their emotions, improve mental health and build emotional strength in a way that supports lasting wellness.

Comprehensive Care

From medical detox to inpatient rehab and beyond, our men's rehab program offers a full continuum of care. These levels of care may include dual diagnosis treatment for those struggling with both substance abuse and mental health conditions, as well as access to sober living and aftercare programs for long-term recovery.

Caron’s Approach to Men’s Treatment

Caron’s men’s programs focus on treating the whole person — mind, body, and spirit — through evidence-based therapies like CBT, addiction counseling and motivational interviewing. Our team of board-certified physicians and clinicians create personalized plans to address both substance use disorder and co-occurring issues like anxiety and depression. Family involvement is integral to our approach, helping to foster long-term recovery and stronger relationships.

When I first arrived to The Caron Foundation I was completely hopeless and near death due to a life of over 2 1/2 decades of drug use. I was scared, afraid and unsure if I would even make it to see 1 single day of sobriety. I can happily say that I’m living life to the best of my ability today and I’m finally happy and healthy again for once. I owe everything to Caron. They literally saved my life!!!
