Men’s Detox Program

Why a Men’s Detox Program Works

Men and women can face different issues as they begin their recovery. Whether they struggle to live up to societal stereotypes, have specific medical issues, or need to address underlying trauma, our staff understands. We offer a safe, compassionate environment for men as they take the first steps toward addiction recovery.

In a gender-specific treatment program for men, individuals can work through the gendered stressors that may have contributed to their drug or alcohol abuse. Cultural expectations can put inordinate pressures upon men to perform. When men fail to meet these standards, they can become depressed, anxious, or violent. Sometimes men turn to drugs or alcohol to escape the pressures they are facing, only to develop a substance use disorder. Similarly, society views men drinking and using drugs differently than it does women doing the same. This can cause many men to discover late that they have an alcohol abuse problem or have been using drugs as a means of avoiding facing underlying mental health issues. A specialized men’s detox program allows men who need gendered care to build a foundation for lifelong recovery.

We offer a range of therapeutic options for the men we treat, including:

• Cognitive-behavioral therapy
• Dialectical behavior therapy
• Yoga therapy
• Trauma therapy
• Chiropractic services

We tailor each client’s treatment program to their unique needs, allowing them to grow and thrive in recovery. Through this practice, we give them the tools that they need to stay free of drugs and alcohol outside of our men’s detox program.

Men’s Detox Programs Provide Focused Treatment for Men’s Recovery Needs

Men and women can face different issues as they begin their recovery, just as they do when developing a substance use disorder. Some of the common factors that lead men to addiction include:

• Struggling to live up to societal stereotypes – Many men feel the need to put up a tough exterior, regardless of what is happening in their lives. Cultural expectations can put undue pressures upon men to perform. When men fail to meet these standards, they can become depressed, anxious, or violent. Sometimes, men turn to drugs or alcohol to escape their pressures, only to develop a substance use disorder.
• Dealing with specific medical problems – Men are less likely than women to seek treatment for medical concerns such as pain. They may choose to self-medicate instead.
• Unaddressed trauma or other mental health conditions – Men are also less likely to get help for mental illness, so the situation will generally worsen with time. Eventually, men may realize they have been using alcohol or drugs as a means of avoiding facing underlying mental health issues.
• Trying to fit in – Society views men’s drinking and drug use differently than it does for women. It may be perceived as a regular social activity for men, even if it occasionally goes overboard. Since it is viewed as more socially acceptable for men to drink heavily, men may not realize they have developed a substance abuse disorder until after it has become severe.

In a gender-specific treatment program for men, individuals can work through the above gender-related stressors contributing to their drug or alcohol abuse. When an addiction treatment program is explicitly reserved for men, more time can be spent focusing on the issues that matter to them most.

Addictions Treated During Our Men’s Detox Program

Each substance has unique withdrawal symptoms, requiring different ways for our staff to mitigate discomfort. For instance, alcohol detox involves addressing a myriad of physical withdrawal symptoms. On the other hand, a cocaine detox may involve some physical discomfort, but psychological effects are more pronounced. Therefore, we offer several detox programs to provide clients with the support they need to get clean. Each of our detox programs is medically supervised. As a result, any complications that may arise from detox (heart issues or blood pressure issues, for example) can be immediately addressed.

A secure and safe detox location allows individuals to work through the specific withdrawal symptoms they are experiencing without worry. Professionals at Serenity House Detox & Recovery Houston have experience with treating a myriad of substance addictions. Our men’s Houston drug detox program offers treatment for the following substances:

• Alcohol detox program
