Drug rehab programs for adult men make it possible for male recovery clients in Rome to immerse themselves in treatment and recovery with the social comfort and peer support that can only be obtained in a gender specific treatment program. Just as women often excel in programs designed only for women, adult men are faced with many life challenges and challenges to their sobriety that only other men can relate to. There is sufficient understanding and empathy from fellow males in recovery, and considerate substance abuse counselors and rehab staff who can relate to what they are going through and how to meet their specific needs.
Males tend to abuse drugs and alcohol at higher rates than women, but also tend to complete treatment at higher rates than females. When in a program for adult men, this increases the chances for full program completion because male clients aren't exposed to the distractions they might come upon in a co-ed rehab program. This provides complete immersion into the rehabilitation experience, where clients can address male specific problems and work with counselors and their peers to clear them up. Many drug rehab programs for adult men offer depression and suicide prevention due to the fact that male clients are at higher risk of suicide according to statistics, as well as treatment for co-occurring mental health disorders, holistic (drug free) treatment and anger management therapy.
