Men's Treatment Program
Morningside Recovery offers a specialized treatment program for adult males needing help with addiction or mental illness. Substance abuse and mood disorders in men have a distinctive pathology and progression, and therefore need specific treatment. Research shows that in certain aspects of substance abuse, the underlying issues driving the abuse are unique to men, requiring a specialized set of treatment services. In fact, Morningside relies on recent research that has found gender to be a crucial aspect when designing a treatment plan.
Morningside’s men’s residential treatment is a multidisciplinary approach with a gender-specific chemical-dependency component. Not only is housing gender specific, but much of the group therapy process and outside support groups are, as well. However, Morningside’s success is based on integrating all of our clients into real world situations that are observed and supported clinically. Our Men’s Treatment Program follows this same successful structure, and coed interaction and group therapy are encouraged, yet monitored. This method of treatment allows clients’ primary therapists along with the rest of the Morningside clinical staff to be aware of any relevant issues that may only reveal themselves during real-life, mixed-gender interactions. In so much as coed relations can be important, therapeutic programming that is generally more beneficial without the immediate presence of females is done in single-gender groups.
Morningside’s large variety of male-only housing options allows us the ability to place a client in the most therapeutic environment for his recovery. Age, maturity, life experience, level of care, and disorders being treated all figure into a therapist’s decision on client placement. We offer residential settings ranging from large homes on the beach and smaller homes on the bay to all-male apartment living and Academic Institute student housing. Regardless of the nature of a client’s struggles, or where he is in life, Morningside has the most appropriate setting to help him reach his goals.
Our comprehensive men’s addiction treatment program provides a clinically-appropriate level and duration of primary extended care. Men come to Morningside for a variety of reasons. Whether admitting for substance abuse, mental health, co-occurring disorders, or any of the many other issues Morningside successfully treats, each client is assured a highly individualized and effective therapeutic program. What clients take away from Morningside will benefit them in their recovery in the real world (and for the rest of their lives) rather than only inside the walls of treatment.
