Men's Treatment

Men’s Treatment Center

The Berman Center is an evidence-based men’s treatment center offering Atlanta addiction and mental health programs.

Men's Treatment Center

When addressing addiction and mental health issues, the path to recovery is deeply personal. It’s influenced by a lot of factors, including gender. Recognizing this, The Berman Center offers specialized men’s treatment programs. These are designed to meet the needs and experiences of men as they face these challenges.

Gender-specific treatment programs offer an environment where individuals feel supported and understood in ways that resonate with their lived experiences. At our men’s treatment center, we know that men can experience emotional and psychological issues differently than women, and they often face unique expectations and societal pressures.

In our programs, men can explore and address issues like masculinity, relationships and emotional expression in a supportive, understanding setting. The goal is to create a safe space for men to openly discuss and work through struggles without fear of judgment or stigma, contributing to more personalized and effective treatment outcomes.

The Berman Center offers drug addiction treatment and mental healthcare in a supportive outpatient environment in Atlanta.

Addiction and Mental Health in Men

Addiction and mental health issues affect people across all demographics, but men often experience and respond to challenges in ways that are different from women. Understanding these unique issues and patterns is crucial in providing effective treatment and support tailored to the specific needs of men.

Prevalence and Patterns
Men are statistically more likely to use substances. They’re at a higher risk of developing substance use disorders. This is attributed to factors including:
  • Social norms encourage risk-taking behaviors.
  • Using substances as a coping mechanism.
  • Pressures from society related to masculinity.
Men tend to be socialized to view getting help as a sign of weakness, meaning delays in treatment. As far as mental health, men and women experience similar rates of mental health issues, but men are less likely to acknowledge their struggles or seek help. A lot of this stems from cultural norms discouraging emotional vulnerability in men. Depression can look different in men as well. It often appears as anger or aggression rather than sadness. We frequently see that men are more likely to use substances to self-medicate mental health symptoms. That further complicates the situation.
Unique Challenges and Considerations
When working with clients at our men’s treatment center, we also see that men are often impacted by cultural expectations surrounding masculinity. Men feel pressure to conform to the traditional ideas of strength, self-reliance and stoicism. This makes it hard to admit they need help or show any vulnerability. The result can be not reporting symptoms, internalizing emotions and avoiding therapy. Men may show their psychological distress through behaviors that aren’t immediately associated with mental health. For example, behaviors like hostility can be seen when a man is struggling with anxiety or depression. Along with addiction treatment, The Berman Center is a leading outpatient mental health center in Atlanta, offering gender-specific, evidence-based care.

TREATMENT ELEMENTS

Benefits of a Men's Treatment Center

Gender-specific treatment programs offer advantages when it comes to addressing the unique experiences and challenges of men. The therapeutic environment and approach can be tailored, offering a more supportive, effective pathway to recovery.

Benefits of a gender-specific program include:

  • Targeted treatment approaches: Gender-specific programs are designed to address the unique ways men experience and express substance use and mental issues, allowing for targeted treatment strategies.
  • Safe, supportive environment: Men may feel more comfortable discussing sensitive personal issues in a male-only setting. The environment can encourage open, honest communication, which is necessary for effective therapy. Men can explore topics like relationships and masculinity.
  • Focus on societal expectations: Programs have the opportunity to address how societal expectations for men can impact mental health and substance use. By directly addressing these issues, clients at our men’s treatment center can develop healthier ways to express themselves and cope.
  • Camaraderie and peer support: Gender-specific settings can foster camaraderie and mutual support. Shared challenges and experiences promote peer support and reduce isolation.
  • Customized therapeutic interventions: In gender-specific plans, treatment plans are customized to include therapies that resonate with the preferences and interests of men, helping improve overall engagement.

At our mental health treatment center, we provide different care levels, including a partial hospitalization program (PHP), an intensive outpatient program (IOP), and traditional outpatient treatment.

OUR THERAPIES

What to Expect in a Program for Men

While treatment plans are always customized at The Berman Center, some of the types of therapy and interventions that may be included are:
  • Individual therapy: One-on-one sessions working with a therapist allow men to explore personal issues in-depth, develop coping strategies personalized to them, and work through recovery barriers. Therapists may focus on helping recognize and articulate emotions, a critical part of healing.
  • Group therapy: Group sessions offer a platform for men to share experiences and learn from each other. The setting encourages developing empathy and healthy communication skills.
  • Educational workshops: These can cover topics related to health, like the impact of stress and trauma on physical and mental health, as well as strategies for maintaining overall well-being.
  • Holistic and experiential therapies: This includes physical fitness, outdoor and recreational activities, yoga and mindfulness. These approaches aim to help men connect with their bodies, manage their stress, and develop new interests that support a healthy lifestyle.
  • Life skills training: At our men’s treatment center, men may receive practical life skills training. Depending on their needs, this could include communication, stress management and vocational skills. The goal is to help clients rebuild their lives, improving their overall quality of life in recovery.
  • Family involvement: Family therapy and education can be integral to the program when appropriate. This can help repair relationships and build a support network for men in recovery, which is crucial for long-term success.
Whether it’s anxiety treatment or treatment for another addiction or mental health disorder, we encourage you to learn more about the value The Berman Center can bring to your life or the life of someone you love.
