How does Hazelden view treatment for men and women?
There are times when men and women can benefit from participating in treatment together but there also times when gender-specific treatment can benefit recovery. Hazelden offers genders-specific treatment in our residential primary care programs. When we separate patients by gender, men learn about recovery from other men, and women begin to focus on building a lasting sobriety with the help of other women. Alumni (our former patients) tell us that their gender-specific treatment groups also helped them discuss highly sensitive and personal issues that are unique to a gender.
