Contact usCompared to women and other segments of society, men face unique challenges. While women are generally more susceptible to the long term effects of drug and alcohol addiction, men are far more likely to become addicted in the first place. Men also exhibit different degrees of the physical, psychological, emotional, social, and spiritual effects of substance abuse.
Fortunately, The Hader Clinic is here to help. We apply a holistic model of treatment to all patients, meaning that men suffering drug and alcohol addiction will receive an inherently personal treatment plan. We've had decades of experience treating men with our programs.
Like all sufferers of addiction, men face a myriad of issues overcoming the disease. The Hader Clinic treats all of these issues in tandem — not just the physical implications of substance abuse. We understand the specific struggles that men from all walks of life face and why they rely on alcohol and drugs to cope.
The physical effects of drug addiction on men are common in both sexes, and can include:
The psychological effects of male drug addiction can include:
Men have a range of common emotional responses to long term drug and alcohol addiction, including:
Without support, men can further shoulder their emotional burdens while under the influence. Common consequences include:
Trauma and addiction can manifest in anyone, regardless of sex or gender. These can potentially include:
With help from The Hader Clinic, men can work towards a healthy life free from drugs and alcohol. The first step is to book a consultation with us, where we will assess the situation. We will also conduct a comprehensive pre-assessment phase to understand your specific needs.
Men with severe drug problems and mental health issues will first need to enter the program and detox. While we treat the physical symptoms of withdrawal, we also allow men to discover their sense of personal accountability.
Many men with serious drug and alcohol dependency issues sometimes require extensive treatment beyond the first detox stage. This stage is about creating and working towards long term goals, lasting between 60 and 90 days. Here, we give men the tools and strategies they require to readjust to normal life.
Many men will require ongoing professional support and care following inpatient treatment. This period can sometimes take years. The Hader Clinic also offers relapse prevention programs to continually treat outpatients and help them continue to reach their goals in life in the outside world.
There's no one single reason why someone uses drugs and alcohol in excessive quantities. Substance abuse, for many, is a coping mechanism to deal with issues in life. For men, common problems include:
However, the impetus of the addiction is not important. Treating the causes and symptoms of the disease must be approached in tandem, which is why The Hader Clinic employs a holistic model of treatment.
Sex plays a large role in the development of substance abuse and mental health issues among men and women. A well-respected study published in Front Neuroendocrinal finds a number of interesting statistics about substance abuse for men:
There are critical biological differences between the sexes, and this proliferates into the world of substance abuse. This is the reason that The Hader Clinic approaches every patient on a case-by-case basis, ensuring that these factors are addressed.
If the patient is not ready for treatment, there are government and community services for men in crisis. These include:
There's always support out there for men battling addiction issues, mental health problems, and other issues. The Hader Clinic understands these personal issues and can help patients overcome them.
