The social, structural, personal and cultural barriers that women and men face are unique. Therefore they require gender specific programs. There are many differences between women and men who suffer from alcoholism and drug addiction, as well as different reasons and circumstances that led to their abusing drugs and alcohol. Men and women face relapse stressors unique to their gender as well. Our Gender Specific track is tailored specifically to address the psychological, social, and physical needs of each gender. Our programs help women and men who have experienced traumatic events learn to trust and open up. In addition our gender specific groups help to restore each man and woman's personal strength, confidence, and self esteem.
