Addressing Unique Needs of Men in Substance Use Disorder Treatment

Addressing Unique Needs of Men in Substance Use Disorder Treatment is organized by ACTS Consulting, Inc.

Course Description:
Addressing the Specific Behavioral Health Needs of Men looks at how gen­der-specific treatment strategies can improve outcomes for men. The physical, psychological, social, and spir­itual effects of substance use and abuse on men can be quite different from the effects on women, and those differences have implica­tions for treatment in behavioral health set­tings. This course addresses these distinc­tions. It provides practical information based on available evidence and clinical experience that can help counselors more effectively treat men with substance use disorders.
