Find Addiction Treatment for Men
Overview
Men are more likely to use most substances and less likely to seek treatment. Societal expectations around masculinity can create barriers to help-seeking. Treatment should address masculine identity, emotional expression, and relationship skills.
Barriers to Treatment
- Stigma around vulnerability and asking for help
- Societal expectations of self-reliance
- Difficulty expressing emotions
- Higher rates of substance use overall
- Less likely to recognize or acknowledge addiction
- Treatment programs that address these barriers improve outcomes
