Understanding the Relevance of Gender-Specific Rehab

Addiction is a common disease, but it presents unique challenges for every patient. Therefore, it is not appropriate to utilize a one-size-fits-all approach in addiction recovery programs. Gender-specific rehab grouping is frequently seen in treatment centers, and it is important for addressing the different factors that may exist in addiction for men and women.

It is important to recognize addiction as a physical, psychological, and social problem. As such, it can affect men and women much differently, since both sexes have distinct physical and mental healthcare needs. Additionally, men and women often feel more comfortable discussing the issues that surround their addictions in gender-specific group therapy meetings.

At Retreat at Lancaster County, we are understanding of the unique challenges that can come with addiction in every individual. That is why we offer personalized care with gender grouping, pain management services, LGBTQ services, and young adult programs. To learn more about what sets us apart, call (717) 859-8000.
