Rehab for Men at Aftermath Addiction Treatment Center

Facing addiction without the right support can be a major hurdle. A 2020 Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration study states that men accounted for 16.5% (aged 12+), and women made up 12.7%. In the same period, men made up 11.7% of individuals with an alcohol use disorder (AUD), and only 8.8% were women.

This field is for validation purposes and should be left unchanged.

These numbers speak to a need for male-specific rehab programs. Addiction treatment can help improve an individual’s personal life and general well-being. That’s where Aftermath Addiction Treatment Center’s drug rehab for men comes in.

Substance Abuse Treatment in Massachusetts

At Aftermath Addiction Treatment Center in Wakefield, MA, we curate a safe space. Our team creates a judgment-free environment for men with a drug or alcohol addiction. We don’t believe in a blanket approach for every client. Instead, our expert clinical team designs personalized treatment plans to meet unique needs.

 

Our men’s drug rehab tackles gender-specific challenges associated with recovery. Factors like relapse risk and susceptibility can vary, and gender can inform this. While mixed-gender addiction treatment can work, this program explores the nuances affecting men.

Addiction Treatment: Comprehensive Programs

We understand that facing addiction can be tough. Our customized treatment program focuses on physical, emotional, and psychological health. By addressing addiction holistically, we help make lifelong sobriety attainable.

Our Levels of Care for Men's Addiction Treatment

Our levels of care at our drug rehab for men provide tailored treatment for various addictions. Across all levels, we also treat co-occurring disorders through our dual diagnosis treatment. At Aftermath, our men’s addiction program ensures targeted care, provided with compassion.

Day Treatment (PHP)

Formerly known as the Partial Hospitalization Program (PHP), Day Treatment is our highest level of outpatient care. It offers structured care like inpatient programs, with the flexibility to return home. Our PHP involves up to 25 hours of treatment between Mondays and Fridays.

Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP)

The Intensive Outpatient Program (IOP) is a great fit for those who need even more flexibility than our PHP. It runs for 9-15 hours per week over 12-16 weeks. For men juggling work or family responsibilities, our IOP is a wonderful fit. This level of care is also suitable for those who've completed a PHP but still need support.

Outpatient Program (OP)

Our Outpatient Program (OP) offers a step down from IOP, with even more freedom to maintain a daily routine. We tailor our OP to the substances an individual struggles with for more detailed care. Holistic support is beneficial for individuals who no longer need constant supervision.

Virtual Rehab Options for Men

Life’s volatility can make it hard to attend in-person sessions sometimes. With our remote treatment options, convenient support is still attainable. Our telehealth virtual services are available across our PHP, IOP, and OP programs. At Aftermath, we ensure addiction treatment is accessible for those who need it.

Rehabs for Men: Focused on Evidence-Based Therapies

When it comes to treating addiction, we stick to what already works. Our approach combines proven therapeutic methods to address each individual’s unique situation.

Individual Therapy for Men's Recovery

We encourage open discussions about recovery struggles in individual counseling. Several therapies, backed by scientific studies, get used, like:

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Learn to regulate emotions and develop healthy coping skills. In doing so, individuals can use sustainable methods to help curb relapse.

Change negative thought patterns and behaviors. This promotes healthier mindsets that break the mental connection to addiction.

Trauma-Informed Therapy

Address any underlying trauma that could’ve influenced substance use. This approach includes eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) trauma therapy.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Accept thought patterns and emotions safely. In this acceptance, individuals can better commit to positive behavior changes.

We also use rational emotive behavioral therapy (REBT) and motivational interviewing (MI). To mend familial bonds, we facilitate therapeutic family reintegration. Our techniques help equip you with life-building skills for deeper personal growth.

Group Therapy in Addiction Treatment Center

Healing alongside men who are facing similar challenges can be instrumental in recovery. Our group therapy sessions include:

Anger and Stress Management

Learn tools to manage difficult emotions and addiction triggers.

Relapse Prevention

Develop strategies to handle high-risk situations and prevent relapse.

12-Step Modalities

Build accountability and work toward healthy self-awareness.

Expressive Art Therapy

Explore individual feelings through creative, constructive outlets.

At Aftermath, we address other topics in group settings, too. These include stages of change, interpersonal skills, family relationships, and gratitude. Our counselors also provide useful neuroscience psychoeducation and HIV/STD information.

Case Management for Long-Term Sobriety

Recovery requires ongoing commitment; it doesn’t stop when a treatment program ends. We help individuals adjust to life afterward in the following ways:

Aftercare

Create a custom plan for continued support and accountability.

Help With Sober Living Homes

Transition to substance-free housing.

Job Support

Sort out medical leave or short-term disability if needed.

Advocacy

Get guidance on legal issues related to substance abuse.

Community Resources

Learn where to find useful tools for ongoing recovery.

For men who need outside medical providers, we can provide referrals. We can also gladly help with applications for federal/state-funded benefits.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Rehab for Men

There are various reasons why gender-specific treatment can help men struggling with addiction.

  • Men often have different motivations, triggers, and experiences related to substance abuse.
  • Society’s gender expectations and roles can impact addiction and recovery.
  • Stress management and emotional expression can differ between genders.
  • Many men feel more comfortable sharing personal stuff with other men.

At Aftermath, you can discuss challenges without feeling judged in an open environment. We address gender-specific addiction struggles head-on in our treatment approach. In doing so, we teach coping techniques that work specifically for men.

Addiction in men is complex and can stem from various factors. These include genetics, environment, trauma, or mental health difficulties. Finding the root cause through therapy is an integral part of recovery, and we can help at Aftermath.

Recovery involves learning various skills to improve wellness. The top five are self-awareness, self-regulation, interpersonal skills, distress tolerance, and mindfulness. Mastering these can significantly boost your chances of sobriety that lasts a lifetime.

Addiction often impacts men’s brains by increasing impulsivity and risk-taking behavior. It can lead to sexual dysfunction, cognitive decline, and heightened heart health risks. With an imbalanced brain reward system, natural pleasure sources become less effective. Experiences can vary, but proper treatment can help improve these effects over time.
