Benefits of Co-Ed Treatment Programs

A wide range of experiences

Addiction triggers and mental health issues may often arise from toxic relationships or relationship-based stressors. In such cases, individuals may learn more from the opposite gender in a low-risk, non-judgmental environment.

Learning to form healthier relationships

If an individual is open to new relationships, whether romantically or otherwise, co-ed programs provide options for healthier relationships with both men and women.

Opens up a broader view of issues

Because men and women experience addiction and mental health issues differently, co-ed treatment programs allow for addressing more of these issues.

Rehab opportunities for couples

Intimate living environment at home often means that both people in a relationship end up abusing substances. In such cases, co-ed treatment programs can help the couples heal and recover together.

Is Co-Ed Treatment Right For You?

When you are trying to choose the right treatment program for you, consider what would be the best opportunity for you to recover in the long term. Talk to the treatment facility administrators, tour the facility, ask about all the options and services they provide. A good treatment center would offer a wide range of choices for you to make an individualized decision that’s right for you.

If you have had relationship problems, and if they may have led you to your addiction and mental health issues, you may consider co-ed treatment programs in order to learn more about yourself and your behavioral patterns.

If you are planning to get treatment with a partner or spouse, co-ed treatment may be an ideal choice for you to learn more about each other and recover together for the long term.
