Gender-Specific Treatment Program
We focus on addiction issues unique to each gender.
Gender–specific treatment for addiction, where men and women are treated in separate groups, is far more effective at helping people recover from substance abuse disorders, addictions and mental health problems. Studies show that having separate substance abuse treatment programs for men and women leads to better outcomes and allows a focus on issues that are unique to each gender. Drug abuse–related gender differences include different histories, body compositions, potential for post-traumatic stress disorder and physiologies. Men and women suffer different consequences due to their addictions. Having two separate substance abuse treatment programs allows clients to focus more intently on their individual recovery. GateHouse Treatment’s gender–specific treatment programs were designed to offer clients best-in-class drug abuse treatment. Each track has the same core focus: to lead both men and women out of the pains of addiction into long-term recovery.
Men’s Gender-Specific Treatment Program
When it comes to drug abuse/addiction, comparative studies have shown that drug addiction is FAR more common among men than women. Men start using drugs at an earlier age. Drug abuse in men occurs more often and in larger amounts. Alcohol abuse is also more common in men than women and men tend to engage in binge drinking at a higher rate. Close to 12% of American males age 12 and over currently use illegal drugs, compared with just 7.3% of females in the same age group. Multi-drug use is also more common in males than in females.
GateHouse Treatment’s men’s program is designed to help men seeking recovery from substance use disorders. A focus on highly personalized and proven substance abuse treatment approaches coupled with accountability and interaction with our compassionate staff enables clients to achieve sobriety success.

Women’s Gender-Specific Treatment Program
When women develop substance use disorders, research indicates they tend to develop them faster than men. In addition, they report problems of greater severity and experience more mental health-related consequences, such as mental illness. However, women are more likely than men to encounter barriers that prevent them from seeking or following through with treatment. These include economic obstacles and family responsibilities. It’s also important to note that anxiety or depressive disorders, which tend to be more prevalent and severe among women, may prevent them from seeking help with addiction. The professionals at GateHouse are aware of these issues and have the treatment programs and experience to help female clients overcome these barriers so they can get on the road to recovery.
Our Women’s Program consists of:
- Women’s Partial Hospitalization Program
- Women’s Intensive Outpatient Program
