Men and women suffer from many different issues and we feel that it is important to address their issues individually while in drug and alcohol rehab. For example, men usually struggle with anger management issues, while woman struggle with trauma and social issues. Male rehab also allows men the ability to share private issues that they may feel very uncomfortable discussing in front of women. Because men often see themselves as strong and self reliant, culturally they have a harder time opening up and as a result their problems can sometimes go unresolved. In a men's program, men may feel more at ease and comfortable discussing certain topics and memories with other recovering males without having to worry about social approval, something they may feel they are subjected to in a co-ed group. Knowing that there are other men struggling with similar issues and forming male bonds in group therapy and rehabilitation can sometimes make it easier for men to share their feelings, fears, hopes, and frustrations. Doing so can be extremely beneficial, as this can help a man in recovery embrace new coping skills and eventually better facilitate recovery.

Unity rehab center knows that it's male patients have the full potential to be great husbands, fathers, and businessmen and it is important for those involved in the male program to know that their addictions are not any indication of what kind of men they are, but rather a mental disease they are suffering from and one that can be treated. Men are often prideful and believe that with sheer willpower they can regain control and effectively handle their problems. Unfortunately overcoming addiction takes learning a new way of life, not just willpower. The program is designed to help an addicted male tackle the issues that contribute to their alcohol or drug abuse and restore hope by teaching them how to handle stressful situations in a healthy way.

It is also important to note however, that while individual therapy in the men's program is very beneficial, integrated group therapy treatment with both sexes can be invaluable as it is healthy to learn how to adapt and react to various discussions and feelings that may arise between opposing sexes while in a controlled environment. Unity's treatment center mixed groups provide the opportunity to become equipped with the tools it takes to coexist in society while in drug and alcohol rehab.
