Men's Program

Providing a structured, 3-Step therapeutic environment with a mind, body, spirit emphasis, Canaan Valley Farm offers gender-specific treatment for young men struggling with alcohol or drug use disorders. Our single-gender program is designed to recognize and meet the unique physical, emotional, and psychological needs of our male clients while encouraging clients to be vulnerable and open with peers, therapists, and treatment specialists

Benefits of CVF Gender-Specific Treatment for Young Men

When it comes to addiction risk factors and therapeutic needs, men and women are not the same. Drug and alcohol addiction manifests itself uniquely in the lives of male clients, and the Canaan Valley Farm team provides a gender-specific environment where young men can be vulnerable and truthful with their housemates and therapists.

Our staff is trained to work with each gender separately, and our gender-informed program provides a targeted treatment that helps men develop unity and address a variety of issues:

• Family systems & parenting
• Anger management
• Conflict resolution
• Role of masculinity in recovery
• Healthy emotional exploration
• Workplace & professional pressures
• Spirituality

Distraction-Free Environment

Sexual tension and intimacy issues can derail an individual’s focus during co-ed recovery environments. When participants attend a gender-specific recovery program, “rehab romances” between opposite genders become less of a concern. Clients are free to focus on their recovery without filling voids in their life with intimate relationships they are not equipped to deal with. In addition, male therapy participants find it easier to be fully open about anger, trauma, depression, and other addiction symptoms.

CVF’s male-specific rehab schedule includes a variety of holistic programming options:

• 3-Step curriculum
• 3-Step community meetings
• Phase groups
• Meditation & mindfulness
• Spiritual growth
  Relapse prevention planning
• Psycho-education
• Experiential therapy
• Art therapy
• Recreation & leisure
