Why a Men’s Centre?

Addressing the Unique Challenges Men Face in Recovery

We at Seven South Street Treatment Centre specialize in helping men deal with personal issues that at times can be highly sensitive a safe and structured environment.

Why We Focus on Men’s Care

Addiction affects everyone differently—but men often face unique challenges that can impact how they seek help and respond to treatment.

At Seven South Treatment Centre, we specialize in supporting men because:
  • Men are less likely to seek help due to stigma, shame, or cultural expectations around masculinity.
  • Addiction in men is often tied to underlying issues like trauma, anger, isolation, or work-related stress.
  • Group therapy and peer support are more effective when men feel safe sharing openly with others who understand their experience.
  • Tailored programs allow us to address emotional regulation, relationships, and rebuilding identity in ways that resonate specifically with men.
By focusing exclusively on men, we create a safe, structured, and judgment-free space where they can begin to heal—not just from addiction, but in all areas of their lives.

Men’s issues in recovery include but are not limited to:

Anger and emotions management
Challenging stigma/stereotypes typically attached to being a man
Sexual, emotional and physical abuse
Building and maintaining healthy boundaries and relationships
Challenging old harmful values and beliefs in order to regain control over self
