Philosophy of Care for Men in Addiction Treatment

The Betty Ford Center recognizes that there are social and cultural influences that encourage, tolerate and sanction the abuse of alcohol and other drugs by men thus making it difficult for men to understand and develop their individuality.  In addition, we understand that there are other external pressures encouraging men to assume a masculine role at the expense of the authentic self.

This focus on an externally defined masculine image blocks men from addressing their addiction, impedes their ability to process feelings and interferes with relationship development.

The Betty Ford Center provides an atmosphere of spiritual and emotional support conducive to men defining the process of recovery from chemical dependency, accessing their authentic selves and developing skills necessary to identify and express feelings appropriately.  We offer a milieu where men join together to break the cycle of competition and grow together in a spirit of fellowship.
