Benefits of Gender-Specific Treatment

Our gender-specific relapse programs are designed to accommodate the neurobiological differences between men and women that impact how they process, communicate, learn, and express emotion. It also addresses societally assigned gender roles and other factors that require specific treatment.

In a gender-specific program, you have the privacy and emotional safety you need to be vulnerable and honest with peers. You also benefit from deeper emotional connection and fewer distractions so you can fully concentrate on treatment.

Men’s Relapse Program focuses on key themes specifically as they apply to concepts of trust, safety, and vulnerability in relation to self-reliance and pride in self-image.
Women’s Relapse Program focuses on key themes that many women experience in relapse such as trauma, shame, guilt, and fear surrounding their ability to be “good enough” in the roles (daughter, spouse, etc.) they fulfill.

"To me, having a program specifically designed for those who have made attempts at sobriety and may be at a different point on their journey to recovery, was amazing. It was the shared struggles, the wisdom in the room, and the targeted therapies that made the difference. And more personally for me, the safety and culture of the unit made the difference.”

William R., Alum

"I arrived at Caron full of shame and humiliation following a relapse after long-term sobriety. I left full of hope, support, and a plan for my recovery. I am forever grateful to the experienced clinicians and staff at Caron.”

Charisse C., Alum

"Just as daily life evolves, so can triggers and new obstacles to overcome. Caron helps patients, alum and families navigate 'life after treatment' through the ups and downs of managing the disease of addiction."
